United Voice of the Arctic

Founded in 1977 by the late Eben Hopson of Barrow, Alaska, the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) has flourished and grown into a major international non-government organization representing approximately 180,000 Inuit of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka (Russia).

Inuit represented

ICC was founded in 1977 when Inupiaq Eben Hopson invited to Barrow, Alaska numerous other Inuit to discuss ways in which a common response could be developed to address increasing attacks on the Inuit way of life, environment, and human rights that were initiated by industry, states, and others with interests in the Arctic.

ICC Now

Welcome to the “ICC Now”!

In this video you will see an example of what the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) has been working on since the 13th General Assembly that was held in Utqiaġvik, Alaska in July 2018. ICC has been working on implementing the Utqiaġvik Declaration, which builds on the work ICC has accomplished over the past four decades.

We are proud that this video was produced in the Arctic, and grateful to Environment Funders Canada for funding this important project.
