Finding Our Talk The Power of Words - Inuktitut
Complimentary sides of the language and education equation in Nunavik are the subject of this episode. At a Language Conference in Puvirnituq, we witness efforts to keep Inuktitut alive and up-to-date, largely through the knowledge and commitment of elders. At the local school, we look in on efforts to keep the language current among the new generation of speakers, the children who, in effect, hold the future of the language in their hands.
