Nunattinni Katujjiqatigiit Tusaajinut, The Nunavut Interpreter / Translator Society was incorporated under the Societies Act of the Northwest Territories in 1994. The objects of the society are:

• to provide a collective voice for its members;

• to provide for the professional development of its members;

• to ensure that members exercise the profession in accordance with its Code of Ethics.

• to publicize the important role performed by translators and interpreters in society.

• to protect the public interest by administering a public certification examination to ensure the quality of the services by the members

• to maintain amicable and professional relations with similar organizations.

The operations of the Society are chiefly carried on in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut. The Society is affiliated with the Canadian Translators and Interpreters Council and takes part in annual meetings. The Society is composed of both certified (members who have passed the Canadian Translators and Interpreters examinations), associated members, and corporate members. The great majority of our members specialize in Inuktitut / English and English / Inuktitut interpretation, although a few members have Inuinnaqtun / English - English/ Inuinnaqtun and French / English - English / French as a specialization.
