September 10, 2019 – Nome, Alaska– Due to increasing concern about lack of the direct role of Inuit in management in the resources that Inuit depend upon, the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) organized an Alaska Inuit Food Sovereignty Summit. The Summit brings together Inuit from across the North Slope, Northwest Arctic, Bering Strait, and Yukon Kuskokwim regions of Alaska to discuss food sovereignty. Throughout the three-day Summit, focus will be placed on developing a collective way forward to secure consistent access, management authority, and rights over our traditional food resources.
