Peter Irniq talks with Henry Naudlaq about growing up on the land and his time as an MLA with the NWT and Nunavut governments.
In 1991, Igloolik Isuma Productions gathered 13 Igloolik elders for a week of discussion, to choose and then record 24 traditional ajaja songs considered most important to preserve for the future: where did the songs come from, how where they made and how have they been passed down generation to generation? Each elder remembers their own family’s ajaja songs and explains how they were created by poets taking their words from their life experiences. The video includes priceless footage of these elders singing and drumming the songs.
The 13-part Nunavut (Our Land) series follows five fictional families through the different seasons of an Arctic year, from spring to a uniquely Inuit Christmas Day. In Qimuksik (Dog Team) one family travels in the immense and beautiful arctic during spring. Inuaraq teaches his young son how to survive in the old way: driving the dogs, building the igloo, catching seals on the open water, running down caribou to feed the family.
Mixing historical photos, contemporary footage, and recreated scenes, this experimental documentary tells the story of a woman who survived a terrible starvation to become one of the most important residents of Igloolik.
In 1963 families living on the land at Kivitoo were relocated by RCMP to Qikiqtarjuaq, a town 50 km to the south, with the promise they could return, only to return to find their homes bulldozed and belongings destroyed. Combining archival footage and interviews on the land with David Poisey, who experienced the relocation as a child, Zach learns more about this heartbreaking and shocking story, one that was all too common across the arctic.
Broadcast Live from Qaisut August 21, 2019, guests from Clyde River, Pond Inlet, Arctic Bay and Igloolik tell stories about the Baffin region, how they used to live and what animals they saw and hunted. They talk about the history of the Baffin region before mining started.
