A lifetime of agony: families of missing, murdered Inuit women call for answers
Coburn is a professor at the University of Ottawa, where he teaches and researches Indigenous politics. He said that the Inuit are farther behind in socio-economic development than First Nations or Metis.
Inuit communities in Nunavut are secluded, something Obed said not many people in the southern part of the country understand.The difference goes beyond “living in a small town,” he said. In remote communities, the cost of living is high and housing is difficult to find. Access to services and opportunities, including health care and education, is limited. That lack of resources has pushed many Inuit women like Pikuyak and Papatsie to leave.
“Concrete supports are needed,” she said. “We will start to see the kinds of changes that need to happen.”
