The Mary River Mine developed by Baffinland Iron Mine Corporation is a massive and unprecedented mining development for Nunavut (and the Arctic region in general). On the one hand, it represents a major opportunity for potential benefits to workers and their families, to Inuit communities and designated Inuit organizations, as well as to the territorial and federal governments.… Uqalimakkanirit
The regional indigenous movement of the 1990s in Bolivia sets the stage for the country’s first indigenous feature film. Communities in lowland Beni are shattered by violence meted out by illegal loggers.

Climate change will make mining and resource development more attractive and accessible.… Uqalimakkanirit

One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk compresses Piugattuk’s 96-year lifetime into a dramatized feature film portrait of one day in that life, a 24-hour day when the sun never sets, out hunting seals on the spring sea ice in May 1961, in the Igloolik region of north Baffin Island.
"The Marakate are guided by fire and feather… in their singing they will find the way… if there are no jicareros to provide the offerings to the sacred place, illness may come, or it may stop raining."
- José María Reza, marakame (chanter, healer, schaman), Cohamiata, July 2002
In 1985, Zacharias Kunuk broke the race barrier at Canada Council for the Arts when his Inuktitut-language video, From Inuk Point of View, was the first work by an Inuit or Aboriginal artist deemed eligible to apply for a professional artist’s grant. Kunuk was the video’s director; Norman Cohn cameraman; Paul Apak editor; and elder Pauloosie Qulitalik told the story.… Uqalimakkanirit
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.… Uqalimakkanirit
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.… Uqalimakkanirit
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.
Ever since my first Arctic trip, I've always been amazed by the ability of Inuit to predict the weather, ensuring that safe travel and adequate country foods are always taken care of. Today, we reviewed an interview with Livie Kullualik - our "captain" on our trip out to Pangnirtung's floe edge this spring - and he told us about "weather reporting". Livie said:
Today, we're learning from Evie Aninilianik, an 82 year old women from Pangnirtung. Evie also happens to be my Inuit mother, as she adopted me many years ago, in the summer of 2001.
