Inuit Day
November 7, 2025
Inuit Day was first celebrated on November 7, 2006, when the General Assembly of the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) was instructed to “annually proclaim this day as Inuit Day and conduct appropriate ceremonies and celebrations”.
The day chosen by the ICC coincides with the birth date of ICC founder Alaskan Eben Hopson, considered a visionary by Inuit populations internationally. Hopson believed that speaking with a united voice was vital for Inuit to flourish in their circumpolar homelands. The day is thus intended to celebrate the identities, languages and cultures of over 160 000 Inuit from several Arctic regions in Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Russia.
