I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.

My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

"Inuit are 85% of Nunavut population, & 70% of us have Inuktut as our mother tongue. Yet all the schools operate in English. Greenland runs an entire government in Inuit language. They’ve had an Inuit language school system since 1979. If they can do it, we can do it. 🧵 👇🏾
