I have just returned from a wonderful experience at the Canadian pavilion of the XIII International Winter Road Congress, held February 8 to 11 at the Centre des Congrès in Quebec City.
As part of the Inuktituurniup Saturtaugasuarninga project, a youth theatre program was launched to promote communications through a medium that would appeal to Inuit youth.
In the summer of 2009, Avataq carried out an archaeological project to study how the raw materials used to make lithic (stone) tools were acquired.
The Inuktitut version of Tusarnituuq! Nagano in the land of the Inuit airs on APTN this Friday, January 8th, also at 2pm EST/CST in the Voices of the Land documentary slot.
All of us at Avataq Cultural Institute were deeply saddened by the sudden death on October 10th of Emily Novalinga, a true pioneer in the world of Nunavimmiut poetry.
