A new wildlife bill proposed in the Canadian territory of Nunavut takes into account Inuit culture by explicitly stating traditional principles and Inuktitut terms that must be applied in wildlife management. The bill would impose harsher penalties than previous laws, while creating a committee to determine which species are endangered. The bill also emphasizes Aajiiqatigiingniq in all community meetings and discussions, a term which loosely refers to respectful discussion in which those who are silent are not assumed to agree by their silence.
