\"\"In 2007, Pita Aatami, on behalf of the Inuit of Nunavik, signed an agreement for the creation of the Nunavik Regional Government with the Qu\u00e9bec and Canadian governments. Mr. Aatami, who has served as president of the Makivik Corporation for ten years, will describe how the Inuit of Nunavik have gone from igloos to the internet and self-governance in barely a generation.<\/p>\n

Pita Aatami has a record of outstanding achievement, dedication and commitment to the Inuit of Nunavik, to the Inuit of Canada, and to his country. Mr. Aatami has played a key role in bringing the Inuit of Nunavik to the modern world. One of his most important strengths is that he is a visionary; he has a vision of where the Nunavimmiut, as a group, should go.<\/p>\n
