Protecting Inuit Language and Culture from Linguistic and Cultural Imperialism: Resisting English Dominance through Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, Community-Driven Educational Reform and Social Media in Nunavik
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This Inuit-led research explores Inuit voices on decolonizing English second-language (ESL) education in Nunavik by examining how Inuit adults and youth envision protecting Inuktitut and culture while framed by Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. Thirty-two Inuit adults and 11 youth from three Nunavik communities participated in this research from January to September 2024. They called for decolonizing education by returning to traditional values (IQ) and for schools to uphold Inuit identity and language. The youth identified social media as a key tool for language and cultural preservation, while the adults emphasized the importance of critical dialogue on culture and language within the community. This study contributes to the decolonial discourse in Inuit education by offering an original Inuit-specific methodological framework, Silattusarniq, for research that centers Inuit voices and perspectives on decolonization.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
