Saturviit Inuit Women’s Association of Nunavik is a non profit organization whose mandate is to advocate for Inuit women and children and support positive and healthy communities.
Every two years, Saturviit Inuit Women’s Association brings together Inuit women and girls from across Nunavik for the Arnaliat Nipingit Conference.
This year’s conference took place in Puvirnituq from September 22 to 24, 2026, with a focus on substance use. The gathering also marked Saturviit’s 20th anniversary.

For those who do not know the meaning of Saturviit, the root word, “satuq”, means “regaining what one had lost”. Saturviit is in the plural and thus signifies “those who regain what was lost” symbolizing hope of a return of those aspects of our culture that we may think lost, a return of the Inuit way of doing things and pride in Inuit identity.
The Women’s Centre is a warm and peaceful resource. Here, you’ll find a welcoming environment with access to a kitchenette, a student corner, a children’s area, a conference room, and a relaxation nook. The inviting aromas of Bannock, tea, and leather will make you feel right at home!
Saturviit has produced several reports and content resulting from events we have hosted and research we have conducted.
