Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change. Here's the a trailer developed for this project that was shot in the community of Pangnirtung. Over the past year, Pangnirtung has been ravaged by climate change impacts, which has caused glacial melting to wash away a number of bridges in the community, causing a local state of emergency in the summer of 2008. In the video, you'll see shots of Auyuittuq National Park and the extensive glacial melting happening there, which is a devastating reminder of how climate change is adversely affecting the planet.

  Last night, in Ottawa, Zacharias Kunuk and I presented Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change at ArcticNet, Canada's largest northern research meetings.
  The screening was well attended, with some 400 people present, and we had a fantastic Q and A afterwards. We had questions from Inuit, scientists and students as well as a skype-in call from London, England.

  Arguably, the most bizarre, fascinating and perhaps groundbreaking of all observations we've heard from Inuit is that they believe our world has tilted on its axis and this contributes to climate change.… En savoir plus

  Uqalurait: the snow is speaking
  
  uploaded by: Ian Mauro
  
  chaîne: Ian Mauro's Blog on Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change
  
  Inuit are telling us their climate change stories in their mother tongue - the Inuktitut language. It's important that the elders and hunters are speaking in their own language, given that their teachings are both holistic and detailed, and are best communicated in Inuktitut. Today's story is about uqalurait: the snow drifts shaped like a tongue (see blog photo).

  Silent film on climate change

  chaîne: Inuusivut
  
  Check out this amazing silent film called "Speaking out on climate change". In the tradition of Buster Keaton-style black and white slapstick comedy, this piece by Pangnirtung's Julie Alivaktuk brilliantly pokes fun at the very serious issue of climate change and how it affects Arctic ecosystems and Inuit people.

  We've been hearing from Inuit about the Arctic getting warmer. Today's post includes a video upload featuring Alukie Metuq from Pangnirtung. In it, Alukie talks about the intense heat of the past year. No doubt, Pangnirtung is a climate change "hotspot" in the Arctic and has had to deal with a number of related "natural disasters".

  We've gone through an interview with Lukie Airut, an Igloolik-based carver and hunter, and he has great stories to share. In particular, he told us that he had recently seen a grizzly bear near town, which is something that locals say is very rare, despite scientific studies showing they may extend into the area.… En savoir plus

  Inuit we've spoken with believe that nanuuit - polar bears - are increasing in abundance. The stories of elders clearly indicate that in the past this great animal was not seen often, but when it was, it was a very special event. In Inuit society, the bear is revered for its intelligence, strength and importance within the foodchain.… En savoir plus

  Zach and I have been editing like madmen. It's quite a process: surfing the footage, finding the pithy quotes, and translating them from Inuktitut to Qallunaatitut. We often have to debate the specific nuances of what is being said to ensure that we communicate concepts properly in English. It's fascinating to work across cultural worlds in this way.

  This past weekend, in the middle of a blizzard, Zacharias and I went to his cabin on one of the nearby bays on this island. We hung out and talked about the Inuit knowledge and climate change research film we are making. When we left, I walked outside ready to hop on the skidoo, and I was blown away by the night sky.
