Aaju Peter is an Inuit activist and recipient of the Order of Canada in 2012 for her tireless efforts to preserve Inuit culture. Born in Northern Greenland, Peter moved up and down the west coast as a child with her family. Her father was a preacher and teacher. In 1981, Peter moved to Iqaluit where she has focused most of her activism.

Peter has been a vocal supporter of the Inuit seal hunt and its vital role in indigenous culture. She makes ready to wear seal skin clothing, from coats to tank tops with pelts bought from local hunters. The plummeting market value of seal pelts has a salient impact on her communities.

As most of you are already aware, the annual commercial slaughter of harp and hooded seals is about to begin in a few short weeks on the ice floes off eastern Canada.

This is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet.

Please help us show the Canadian government that Canadians join the rest of the world in opposition against this inexcusable and senseless hunt.

Join us for the International Day of Action Against the Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt!
