Policy is a predetermined plan that is established to provide a guide toward acknowledged strategies and goals. It is through our purpose and goals that we will continue to work towards our vision of improving the cultural and economic sustainability of our communities. Policies that protect Iñupiat culture, improve unity, ensure sustainable economic development, and promote Iñupiat stewardship are essential to us. Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat aims to pass along knowledge on Arctic and Inuit policies that affect the Iñupiat.
