One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk compresses Piugattuk’s 96-year lifetime into a dramatized feature film portrait of one day in that life, a 24-hour day when the sun never sets, out hunting seals on the spring sea ice in May 1961, in the Igloolik region of north Baffin Island.
"The Marakate are guided by fire and feather… in their singing they will find the way… if there are no jicareros to provide the offerings to the sacred place, illness may come, or it may stop raining."
- José María Reza, marakame (chanter, healer, schaman), Cohamiata, July 2002
In 1985, Zacharias Kunuk broke the race barrier at Canada Council for the Arts when his Inuktitut-language video, From Inuk Point of View, was the first work by an Inuit or Aboriginal artist deemed eligible to apply for a professional artist’s grant. Kunuk was the video’s director; Norman Cohn cameraman; Paul Apak editor; and elder Pauloosie Qulitalik told the story.… Leer más
Zach said to me this spring that "In my lifetime, I've gone from the stone age to the digital age". This is the video to prove it. See our crew in action as we coordinate our project between Winnipeg, a campsite miles outside of Igloolik, and Saudi Arabia using satellite and internet technology. Arguably this is the first indigenous broadcast from "the land" ever done.
We're finalizing our youth-focused work here in Pangnirtung.
Yesterday, we took youth out "on the land" to learn about climate
change, and to take photographs that related to their stories on the

We finished the edit on this short video this evening. It tells Johnny Kilabuk's "Hockey Season" story about climate change. This story shows that climate change is affecting Inuit of all ages and backgrounds. From traditional hunting to hockey, climate change is seriously affecting the lifeways of Arctic people.
It was a beautiful and sunny day in Pangnirtung. The snow is starting to form on the glacial mountains in the panoramic skyline. We continued our youth-focused photography and video workshops at the local high school.
It was another eventful day in Pangnirtung. We hit the school to meet up with local youth and to follow their progress in a photo project the grade 11 and 12's are working on related to climate change. You can see Stacey in the photo video taping the excellent youth-focused discussion.
Well, it's been a while since the last post, as I took a break from blogging over the entire summer. I had a very good reason. My partner, Nathalie, and I had our first baby. A little girl named "Nuna" (meaning "land" in Inuktitut). So, I stayed back in Winnipeg with family while Zach and the crew were in Igloolik and out on the land with elders.… Leer más
