I personally dont mind having it in Native language, but if there is going to be changed there should be a corresponding name:en tag as the rest of the world can't read it.
One of the reasons I don't mind is: who would possibly use it? People in Nunavut, that's who. It should be as accessible to them as possible. If they dont speak English it creates a barrier of using the Canadian map. Not only that but the northern maps aren't that great as they are even though there have been efforts to improve them *cough* rps333 *cough*.
