Who We Are...MIA

Manitoba Inuit Association (MIA) is the representative organization for Inuit living in Manitoba. MIA provides dynamic Inuit-specific programs and services that embody Inuit principles and values, and ensure opportunities to strengthen connections to Inuit culture, language and community while living in urban and rural/remote areas of Manitoba.

Thousands of Inuit come to Manitoba every year for training, health care, advanced education, or to seek further opportunities. Hundreds of Inuit have made Manitoba their permanent home, and every year, the number of Inuit moving South increases.

Reporting to an Inuit Board of Directors, the Manitoba Inuit Association represents Inuit living in Manitoba by providing Inuit-specific services such as:

• Training, Employment and Education Health and Wellbeing
• Cultural and Community Connections
