We’re not involved in lawsuits, ITK claims

I would like to clarify an important point for your readers regarding the issue of residential schools.

Recent headlines published in Nunatsiaq News are incorrect and misled the public into thinking that ITK is also engaged in legal action on behalf of Inuit beneficiaries who attended residential schools. We are not.

President
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami

Editor’s note: Mr. Kusugak’s clarification is noted. However, a press release last month announcing a residential school lawsuit against the federal government, launched by the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, appeared on ITK letterhead.
