How to use inuit in a sentence?

1. Scott Sheppard:

   I was so thrilled with the amount of public engagement over the Jupiter moon-naming contest that we've decided to do another one to name these newly discovered Saturnian moons, this time, the moons must be named after giants from Norse, Gallic or Inuit mythology.

2. Miali Coley-Sudlovenick:

   It's an incredibly rich language that allows us to truly understand our land, who we are, how we treat and connect with our community, many people want to learn Inuktitut but don't have the access or the supports in place. All I want to do is to make Inuktitut a little more accessible, especially to Inuit who want to learn and anyone else who's interested. I hope my work also inspires others to make Indigenous languages more widely available.

3. Arnaud Czaja:

   The Inuit living in Canada, for example, is a culture based on sea ice, they get their food by hunting seals and polar bears from sea ice, or fishing from sea ice. When the sea ice is disappearing that's not possible, so the whole culture is being lost.

4. Mary Simon:

   I can relate to all people no matter where Canadian Inuit and Indigenous peoples live, what Canadian Inuit and Indigenous peoples hope for or what Canadian Inuit and Indigenous peoples need to overcome.
