Even the Waves Understand
by Jordan Konek A lot of us believe that animals cannot understand what we’re saying and what we’re doing, but Phillip Kigusiutnak said “They don’t understand what we’re saying and doing, but they understand our emotional feelings”. I like talking to Phillip, he is very welcoming and have a lot to say, I went to go interview him with a friend who is not in the project.  The reason why I like...

What do you think IQ means ?
by Tamar Mukyunik October 5, 2011 Taken from Huvagooq Radio Show Kamimaalik: I don’t know much but I have experience. We follow animals and our parents who were around 1940’s to 1950’s know how to survive - - - that were probably around 1959. They did all they can for us. They gathered twigs for cooking, gathered moss and other miniature plants, bushes, wood even though they were slow in...

The Book of Wisdom
by Amy Owingayak August 22, 2010 First of all I’d like to say that Inuit were treated back then as if they were stupid. They knew how to hunt well and how to survive on the land but then, what did they get? White people writing them a book of wisdom which Inuit already had! From reading the documents we have been looking at, Inuit stayed quiet and tried to listen to the White people giving them...

What do you think IQ means ?
by Tamar Mukyunik October 5, 2011 Taken from the Huvagooq Radio Program Marceline Ahmak: I respect our ancestors who came before us that survived on the land where there were no white man. They have a lot of knowledge and we have oral history that we can only “try” from what we’ve heard. Just a try. The Inuit tradition has ended from end of federal school. My mother’s words were never have...

What do you think IQ means ?
by Tamar Mukyunik October 5, 2011 Taken from Huvagooq Radio Program Thomas Ubluriak I came in where no caribou kamiks would have been worn from a big blizzard. The moss would be tigliqtarniraq and during the winter trying to survive the hardest. Over the summer, people fished to survive. We sleep outside where there were no tents, no gun, and bag over the catch if he caught a caribou and then...

Other people are...
