The Elders' seats are positioned on the outside of the legislators' seats. They are twelve in number. This is their meaning... when the legislature is in session, Elders can sit in these seats. Whenever they wish to speak about Inuit traditional knowledge, or about planning, from their own knowledge, they can address the legislators. It is for this purpose that the seats are made available for the Elders. When it is time for you to become fully mature, no doubt you, too, will find a chair waiting for you there, as well as the opportunity to address the legislature.
