Inuit in Canada Natan Obed Attention: Natan Obed is the President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Canada National Inuit Organization representing the interests of 60,000 Inuit in Canada, according to Globe and Mail. Natan Obed Attention Edmonton Eskimos: Inuit are not mascots The keeper of the Grey Cup takes it away after the Fan State of the League in Vancouver on Nov. 28, 2014. We have to honour the aboriginal communities of our great country and respect the fact that the name is deemed offensive and oppressive to these communities, Andre Talbot said from Toronto, where the retired 2004 Grey Cup champion played for the Argonauts but spent his final season in 2010 with Edmonton. The Globe and Mailcolumn Kelly: The Grey Cup is small, quaint and distinctly Canadian Sports organizations need to be community building organizations. In 2012, Talbot was part of a 100th anniversary tour of the Grey Cup that stopped in Iqaluit, and the trip involved more than just posing for pictures with the trophy. And if we’re isolating and offending part of that community, then our particular organization or league is not doing its job. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
