1. Story
2. Inuit delegates from Alaska, Canada and Greenland meet at Utqiagvik and constitute a body to represent Inuit across national borders; Chukotka joins after the end of the Soviet Union. It is the institutional expression of a claim that had no vehicle before it - that the Arctic is a homeland with its own constituency, rather than the northern edge of four other countries.

20. Evidence
21. An Inuit-led commission convened by the Inuit Circumpolar Council consulted communities on both sides of the North Water polynya and recommended an Inuit-managed protected area with a free-travel zone between Greenland and Canada, on the basis that the polynya is a single ecological and cultural system divided by an international boundary.
