International Inuit Day

International Inuit Day (ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐅᑉᓗᐊᓂ), also known as International Circumpolar Inuit Day (Tamaat Ukiuktaqtuniitunik Inuit Ubluangit), is a holiday that was created to celebrate Inuit and amplify their voices. It falls on November 7.

The holiday was established by the Inuit Circumpolar Council in 2006 at their general assembly in Utqiagvik. The council chose November 7 to honour the birth of Eben Hopson Sr., the organizer of the first Inuit Circumpolar Conference.
