Over the past years, there has been an increasing focus on diversity and inclusion across the globe. In the Arctic, the focus has mostly been on gender;Footnote1 less attention has been paid to other groups, such as people with disabilities. Existing studies about disability in the Arctic have started to contribute to a better understanding of the prevalence, causes and treatment of selected impairments and chronic diseases. In addition, over the last decade, a few research projects in different parts of the Arctic have started to address the lived experiences of Indigenous disabled people within their social, cultural, political, geographical and historical contexts. For example, Gjertsen, Melbøe and colleagues started to map the experiences and challenges faced by Sámi disabled people in northern Norway.Footnote2 In Greenland, the reports prepared by the national advocacy organisation Tilioq provide detailed information and first-hand accounts of the experiences of disabled people in Greenland.Footnote
