Canadian government to apologize and compensate Inuit for 1950s-60s sled dog killings.

The Canadian government will apologize and provide $45 million in compensation to Inuit people in Nunavik for the killing of sled dogs by Quebec police between the 1950s and 1960s. A 2010 report found that over 1,000 dogs were killed without regard for their importance to Inuit families. The compensation will help revitalize the culture of dog team ownership and support the community's well-being.
