AB  - This paper provides a framework for understanding the social complexity of the                linkages between language, identity, and territoriality (or attachments to place).                Drawing on qualitative research among Inuit in the Canadian Arctic and in Ottawa, it                discusses Inuit identities in relation to the role played by local, regional,                national, and global processes in constructing Inuitness and the transformation of                Indigenous identities nationally and globally. The paper argues that although                Inuktitut is being supported by institutional and political structures in Nunavik                and Nunavut, English and French have become increasingly important in daily Northern                life. At the same time, Inuit migration to Southern cities has offered new                challenges and established new priorities in the fostering of the plurilingualism                necessary for urban Inuit life.
