"the forbidden window". In the past, children were told not to touch
or eat ice off the window of the qammaq. These windows were made of animal
stomach, either bearded seal or walrus. The stomach would be stretched thin and
you could see clear through it when placed properly in a frame.… Uqalimakkanirit

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.… Uqalimakkanirit
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).
