Uvajuq:
The Origin of Death
A long time ago, according to
Inuit legend, the people who lived across the North
were giants, and they lived forever:
The legend of Uvajuq, as told here,
was collected from a group of Inuit elders in the
Nunavut community of Cambridge Bay, 300 km north of
the Arctic Circle. On the surface, it is the story
of how this prominent hill near the community was
formed. Underlying that is a mysterious tale of much
deeper significance.

Thunder
on the Tundra:
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit of the Bathurst Caribou
Written by: Natasha Thorpe, Naikak
Hakongak, Sandra Eyegetok, and the Kitikmeot Elders
Caribou have always been central to
Inuit identity, subsistence, culture, and tradition.
From 1996 through 2001, the Tuktu and Nogak Project
brought together elders, hunters, youth, and researchers
to record stories about the Bathurst caribou and their
calving grounds. Thunder on the Tundra is
one result of that project. Based on more than 37
interviews, this chronicle provides a fascinating
view into the world of caribou as understood by Inuit
from the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. In the words
of the people themselves, it presents Inuit Qaujimajatunqangit
(IQ), traditional knowledge, for the benefit of present
and future generations.

The
Drum Dancer
The Drum offers the universal language
of music, a rhythm that proclaims life. For Inuit,
the drum is an ancient tradition, used to pass the
people’s history from generation to generation.
In this film, you will go into the iglu with those
attending the drum dance, and out on the land with
the drummer searching for the skin to make his drum.
It is a celebration of the drum dance in its varied
forms.

The
Journey of the Stone
In
winter it is a land of snow. In summer it is a land
of rock. Inuit use that snow to build their iglu.
They use stones to make an “inuksuk” to
mark the place. For Inuk Charlie, each stone holds
an image; he needs only to liberate the piece of art
from the stone, he says. This time, he wants to create
a sculpture from a legend that the respected elder
Neeveovak told him, about the old lady who adopted
a polar bear cub.

They were giants, so crossing the water that lay
in their path was easy. They could simply wade through
the largest lakes.
