Peacenik seeks Inuktitut translations
I am working on a peace project that translates 20 geographic terms into 20 languages. I have completed and-or acquired translations for 14 of the languages from English to Russian to Chinese to Swahili to others. I am intentionally including several of the languages that are in danger of vanishing.
Inuktitut represents a major language spanning the continents and islands of the northern hemisphere and I would like to include it as one of the 20 languages of Planet Earth. Similarly, Hawaiian is one member of the Pan-Pacific Islands that I am including as well to represent the vast area of the Pacific Ocean inhabited by aboriginal peoples with beautiful languages.
Can you help me with the Inuit translation from English?
Here are the 20 terms in English. I would greatly appreciate a translation of these into Inuktitut in its native characters (Unicode font preferred for international interpretation and representation by computers everywhere):
We are one
One earth
One world
Our shore
Our sea
Our sun
Our moon
Our sky
Our air
Our clouds
Our rain
Our wind
Our water
Our streams
Our soil
Our fields
Our plains
Our valleys
Our hills
Our mountains
