Inuit elders Monica and Thomas Ugjuk recount their story
of living on the land in the Kivalik region of Nunavut.
Their accounts describe the involvement of their five deaf
children in family and community life through the use of
sign language. Their positive attitude toward deafness
presents an outstanding example of Inuit lifestyles and
customs which remain deeply embedded in Inuit Societal
Values today (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit).
