Purpose
The Sivuniksattinnik ilinniaqtitsiniq (Teaching the Next Generation) Sapujiyiit Junior Guardians Program is an Inuit-led initiative in Chesterfield Inlet, Coral Harbour, and Naujaat that trains youth to become future Arctic researchers and environmental stewards. Through land-based learning, mentorship from Elders, and use of tools like the SIKU app, youth gain skills in both Inuit knowledge and Western science while contributing to climate research and community-led monitoring. The program strengthens intergenerational knowledge-sharing, supports self-determination, and ensures Northern voices shape Arctic research priorities.
