 This is a breakthrough video. You have revealed more here than we ever hear from our politician who represent Inuit. Thank you for sharing what you see and giving us more glimpse into our grim reality. Nakurmiik Pilirisimajusi.

I am glad that I got to meet my great uncle when he came here to Baker Lake for a short visit in 2009! I would like to thank Zacharias Kunuk for interviewing him!
