unikkaat / unipkaat ungipaghat / nallunairutet Circumpolar WavesAuthor: Inuit Circumpolar Council
This is the podcast of the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC). In the Inuit language, unikkaat means "stories, reports, and testimonials". We want to share our experiences with you as we work to bring the Inuit voice to the international arena. Unikkaat is the word used in Canada, and Greenland. In Alaska the Inupiaq word is unipkaat. The Central Alaskan Yupiq term is nallunairutet. In Chukotka, Russia the Siberian Yupik term is ungipaghat. In English we are calling this podcast Circumpolar Waves because we'll be sending out our stories in waves around the world. Think of radio waves, brain waves, or audio waves, all making their way to you. The waves are "circumpolar" because this podcast is made by the Inuit Circumpolar Council - or ICC - which was founded in the mid 1970s. Check our our website at inuitcircumpolar.com for the full story. Meanwhile, we want to bring you podcasts that feature our leaders and key people working to advance the issues we are working on across Inuit Nunaat, which is the Inuit homeland in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Chukotka (Russia). We hope you enjoy listening to our podcasts. Language: en-ca Genres: Government Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

We are taking the podcast on the road again to the fourth session of the United Nations International Plastics Negotiations in Ottawa, Canada. The formal name is “Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution”. This meeting is known as “INC-4”. The first three sessions were held in Uruguay, France, and Kenya. The talks started in 2022 following a resolution passed to create a treaty. The goal is to develop an internationally legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. Our guests today are part of the ICC delegation at the negotiations this week in Ottawa. Lisa Koperqualuk is the Vice-Chair of ICC, and President of ICC Canada. Liz Pijogge is the Northern Contaminants Researcher for the Nunatsiavut Government. She’s based in Nain.
