Research themes from the Inuit maternity care show, “Nutaraqtaarniq Nunalingnirmiunut Alianaippuq! – Birth, a joyous community event!,” include Inuit cultural and traditional knowledge, a fetal fibronectin study, the Qanuippitali? Inuit Health Survey and information on the Irnisuksiiniq – Inuit Midwifery Network that shares research and other information with stakeholders in Inuit maternity care.

Research content from the Inuit youth show on coping and resilience, “ Makkuktuuvunga, upimmavunga – I am young, and I am proud,” include the Inuit Health Survey, information that youth want to know more about, engaging youth in research on youth, and the importance of mentoring youth.
