Inuit were born to be outside. My earliest memories of growing up with my family were connected to the land, using dog-teams, skin tents. Hi ox he lived on the land. You took what you needed.

We didn't have electric power; we didn't have modern conveniences of any sort. We just lived a very simple and happy content life. You would never forget where we came from, the values that we were taught. Without those values and those skills, we would never have survived.

We've seen a lot of changes in the north in 50, 60 years. As a traditional Inuit hunter, I still try to harvest and utilize the land and the sea as the way we did, but the world has changed.

I feel such an honor and such a privilege to be able to connect with Inuit in Greenland, Nunavut, Nunavut, and the new viola. With origins as a hunter or as a carver, we try to share stories. We try to share what more harvesting methods and means are available.

At the end of the day, they're all our cousins; we're all connected. That's one thing that I don't want us to lose. Our culture has to be practiced in order to be strong. [Music]
