Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami represents communities across Inuit Nunangat and produces research policy documents like the National Inuit Strategy on Research

The ICC represents Inuit peoples across Canada, Greenland, Alaska and Russia and regularly publishes new reports and reflections on policy and issues affecting Arctic Indigenous communities.

The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum for cooperation across the Arctic. They publish reports and policy documents and one of their key focuses is Arctic peoples and communities.

There are also more local advocacy Inuit Association groups such as the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Kivalliq Inuit Association and the Saami Council who all advocate for Indigenous livelihoods, rights, language and culture.

There are universities, research institutes, museums, galleries and libraries across northern Russia and Siberia. These often showcase local academics, artists, authors and musicians, including those who are members of indigenous communities. Indigenous people can often make up a large proportion of these institutions’ staff. An example is the Regional Museum Complex of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

An example of a Russian Arctic research institute is the Institute of Humanitarian Research and the Problems of the Small-Numbered Peoples of the North/ Институт гуманитарных исследований и проблем малочисленных народов Севера. This is part of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It covers the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Like other universities and research institutes, it produces its own journals.

The Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North (RAIPON)/a> aims to protect human rights and defend the interests of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of Russia.

The IWGIA (International Working Group for Indigenous Affairs) is a global organisation. We receive the print copy of Indigenous World every year and their website has useful news stories too.
