Partners
Avataq Cultural Institute’s activities are made possible thanks to the generous support of many sponsors. In particular, it is appropriate to thank all those individuals within Inuit organizations as well as the federal and provincial governments who have collaborated with Avataq over the years.

Terminology workshops
These workshops are primarily intended to develop new terminology and revive old words through discussions among resource people (elders from the three coasts) and a group of translators and interpreters. The most recent terminology workshop was held in Kangirsualujjuaq in April 2006.
History
Because Inuit tradition is largely oral, in 1987 the Avataq Cultural Institute launched a major research program aimed at reconstructing the genealogy of Nunavik’s Inuit families.
