Peter Kanayuk from Pangnirtung speaks about animal health.
Maybe in those days, we had a better sense of smell and taste, and we remember that. Back then, caribou used to taste more flavourful. All the animals we catch, when they're fresh, they taste better. Today, that taste isn't the same. Maybe because of my old age, but it does seem different now.
Lasalusie Ishulutaq from Pangnirtung shares his views on Climate Change. "The sun is hotter now", he says. "In recent years, it turned really hot. When I took my family out, I had never experienced the heat that way. I've noticed that a lot and it brings me to tears."
All animals, you're not supposed to play, hurt or kill them, even insects. If you even kill black flies or mosquitoes with fire while they're in your tent, they'll return and there will be more of them. I've experienced this.
Livie Kullualik from Pangnirtung shares his environmental observations.
Here it used to start melting, in seems, in two layers. Now that doesn't happen anymore. The melting is not happening the way it used to. This is the greatest impact according to my knowledge.
The ice is not that solid anymore and it's no longer good for spring camping. We can't get to our spring fishing place anymore. The ice wants to breakup sooner.
