<i>Nuna Aliannaittuk Auttuq</i>—Thawing of the Beautiful Lands of Inuvialuit: Lessons for Sensing Policy

Abstract This article, co‐led by an Inuk scholar, Inuvialuit graduate student, and non‐Indigenous academic co‐investigators, explores the implications of climate displacement research for public administration, policy, and governance, with a specific emphasis on sensing in relation to policy. Drawing on diverse forms of evidence, we highlight the role of storytelling and sensory experience in shaping climate policy. We reflect on the outcomes of a unique gathering, “Changing Climate Conversations,” where Inuvialuit climate change leaders engaged with Environment Canada officials. Through unipkait (Inuit forms of storytelling) we used murals, music videos, and film, to evoke Inuvialuit youth knowledge on climate change in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada. The youth deliberations challenged conventional climate discourse, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in policymaking. Our findings underscore the need for justice‐oriented policies that honour diverse voices and promote ecological and social justice, enacting inclusive policy futures that center Indigenous sovereignty in environmental governance.
