The Inuit Language Protection Act is among Nunavut’s most important pieces of legislation, setting out rights for Inuktut speakers and the duties of various government organizations and officials in ensuring these rights are upheld.

The Act makes clear that the future of Inuktut depends on positive action by the Government of Nunavut to advance the Inuit Language in government, education and the services that organizations, including businesses, provide to the public.
