Women’s experiences show that the current resources and services only offer material things like housing and jobs; they don’t consider the cultural and community needs of Inuit women. Healing and connections with other Inuit and Inuit culture have the most importance for Inuit women’s well-being in big cities. The North and south are two very different places, but the experiences of Inuit women make a strong connection between the North and the south.
