	Inuit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		Inuit (singular, Inuk; also, generally vulgarly, Eskimo) is a general term for a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples of the Arctic who descended from the Thule.
		The Inuit were -- and many still are -- hunters, who hunt whale, walrus, and seal by kayak or by waiting at their airholes in the ice.
		The Inuit living in North America were formerly classified together with other Native Americans, but they are now considered to be an entirely separate ethnic group who arrived in North America a few millennia after the latter did, properly around 500 C.E as the Thule.

	Charlottetown Accord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in the Patriation Reference and the Quebec Veto Reference that neither Quebec nor any other province had a veto to prevent the federal government from petitioning the British Parliament to pass the Canada Act 1982, and that the new constitution applied to all provinces notwithstanding their disagreement.
		On August 28, 1992, the federal, provincial and territorial governments, and representatives from the Assembly of First Nations, the Native Council of Canada, the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada and the Métis National Council, came to the agreement known as the "Charlottetown Accord".
		Most famously, he referred to persons against the Accord as "Enemies of Canada," and while speaking about the dangers of voting against the agreement in Sherbrooke, he ripped a piece of paper in half with a dramatic flourish to represent the historic gains for Quebec that would be threatened if the accord failed.

		ITC, meanwhile, has investigated the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in view of international trade law, and believes the Canadian government could challenge the ban on grounds that it unfairly discriminates against Canada's Inuit in favour of Alaskan natives.

		The seals, whales and walruses that are the staples of the Inuit diet have become deposits for the world's 12 most toxic chemicals, persistent organic pollutants that collect in the animals' fat and are passed on to the Inuit as they eat, or through breast milk.
		Inuit hunters are reporting abnormalities in animals: seals without hair, polar bears with reproductive organs of both sexes and seals with burns.
		Although there are few pollution sources in Nunavut, the region of Arctic Canada studied, it is on the receiving end of toxic pollutants known as dioxin that have been transported over long distances by the prevailing air currents, says the report by the Center for Biology of Natural Systems of Queens College in New York.
