Announcing the 12 month-long initiative Wednesday in Ottawa, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami president Mary Simon said she wants to raise awareness of the challenges Inuit face in Canada.
"The Inuit cannot only be remembered during times of [Arctic] sovereignty issues," Simon said in a news release.

It looks like now it will be the following year in which the movie "The Swarm" (which has an Inuit main character) will be released. I've not been able to find out who will be cast in the role.
Done right, this apocalyptic techno-thriller ("2012" meets James Cameron's "The Abyss") could be a huge hit.
I'd say the odds of Hollywood's hiring an Inuit actor for the lead role in The Swarm are vanishingly small. The filmmakers probably will go with a Latino, an Asian, or an Anglo with a good tan.
They could also hire a non-Inuit Native. i.e. Wolf Pack members with busy agents arranging auditions.
