What is Nunatsiaq News?
Nunatsiaq News is an English-Inuktitut weekly newspaper that has served
the people of [Nunavut] and the Nunavik region of Arctic Quebec since
1973.
Where is
Nunatsiaq News?
Nunatsiaq News is based in Iqaluit, a town of over 6,000 people
at the end of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island. Known as Frobisher
Bay until January 1, 1987, Iqaluit developed around the Crystal
2 air force base built by the U.S. Strategic Air Command in 1942.
Iqaluit, chosen
by the people of Nunavut in a plebiscite held December 11, 1995,
is the capital of the new territory. It's now the home of Nunavut's
new legislative assembly building, and the head offices of Nunavut's
eleven government departments.
By the end
of 2000, the Nunavut's Department of Community Government is expected
to grant city status to Iqaluit.
Almost all
of our Inuktitut copy is produced in syllabics, but occasionally,
or upon request, we are able to produce material in Inuinnaqtun
Roman orthography. We also publish material in French.
