Tunnganarniq Nunagijavut: Inuvik - Albert Mangilaaluk Elias, The Last Interview
On this episode of Quyanaq Qaikaffi Pangma Nunaptingnun - Tunnganarniq Nunagijavut: Inuvik - Tea Time With Elders host Dodie Malegana talks with Elder Albert Elias about his family genealogy and the state of language revitalization in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
As a fluent speaker of Sallirmiutun, Albert worked with ICS as a host, interpreter, and translator over the years, and was still tireless in his work towards language revitalization, teaching, and translating at the time of his passing. He will be missed dearly by staff and producers of all ages, and "eras" of ICS, who worked with him in different capacities over the years since its founding. He was a strong advocate for Inuvialuktun and was relied on heavily for his historical memory and knowledge of the language. He spent the better part of his career also as Inuvialuit Lands Administrator for the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation.
