Join us as we launch the book ᐊᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards Home: Inuit and Sámi Placemaking alongside the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

ᐊᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ (angirramut) in Inuktitut or ruovttu guvlui in North Sámi mean “towards home.” To move towards home is to reflect on where Sámi people and Inuit find home, on what their connections to their lands means, and on what these relationships could look like moving into the future. Informed by the perspectives of a group of Inuit, Sámi, and settler co-editors, ᐊᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards Home: Inuit and Sámi Placemaking explores Northern Indigenous forms of sovereignty shaped by an understanding of the land as home.

During this event hosted in Ilipvik, the publication’s managing editor Alexandra Pereira-Edwards will introduce the book, and contributors Nicole Luke, Reanna Merasty, and Naomi Ratte will speak to their work. A roundtable discussion will follow, addressing the book’s three grounding questions: Where is home? Where does land begin? And where do we go from here?

Books will be available for purchase on the day of the event. No registration required.
