Woven into the fabric of the Government of Nunavut’s (n.d.) mandate are Inuit Societal Values based on the principle that “survival in Nunavut’s harsh climate is only achieved by working together on life skills and principles for living”. The territorial government’s recognition of the collective effort required to survive in the austere conditions of the Arctic reiterates the importance for policies and
strategies that instill and improve disaster resilience within Arctic communities.
