Synopsis: This short video was recorded for broadcast on "Qanuqtuurniq - Finding the Balance", a three-part TV series about Inuit wellness. The series, produced by Inuit Tuttarvingat of the National Aboriginal Health Organization, aired live on APTN North in Canada and 360 North in Alaska in May 2009. About this video: the midwife apprenticeship program in Nunavik is unique because the training is based on traditional Inuit ways of learning and it takes place in an Inuit community.
