Segment 1: Since 1976, we decided to live out on the land. No one relocated us – it was our dream to live life like the olden days without modern technology. We depend on our dog teams for hunting, if we are out of gas. And we hunt for our food.
Segment 2: Iqaluit Health Centre – nurses examine patients, either at clinic or through home visits.
