by Jordan Konek

I enjoyed the whole time we were in Ottawa and it was my first time to go there. I lived in Toronto, ON for 2 and a half years but never had the chance to visit Ottawa.

Konek isn’t...

Inuit Elders: So Much To Do So Little Time
by Jordan Konek May 14 2011
This blog is about the Inuit elders that have a lot of knowledge about Inuit history and Inuit culture. They are so rich with the traditional practices and are full of knowledge that I think are very important and useful for the future Inuit. We Inuit are losing our culture each time we lose an elder. We have recently lost Mark Kalluak and Job Mukyungnik who are...
