Video from the Fete des Tivajutt, 2012.

Since 2012, Arviat youth have been involved in celebrating Global Dignity Day.

Global Dignity (http://globaldignity.org) is an independent, non-political organization focused on empowering individuals with the concept that every human being has the universal right to lead a dignified life.

A group of forty people travelled out on the land to Ivisaaruqtuuq for a traditional women's camp to learn traditional skills and make friends. We stayed twelve days, learned many new things, and made lots of friends. This is a slideshow that shows the photo highlights from the trip.

This is a very interesting discussion and meeting between Inuit women, filmmakers  from Igloolik, and Indigenous women from Thlahuitoltepec, also involved in videomaking. They share experiences, cultural values and teach other about their recent history. Also present are non indigenous activists from Canada and Mexico.

The ocean, with its colours, sounds and energies infuse with spirit and wisdom the dialogue between two young girls and their grandfathers. We, Mapuche Lafkenche, observe the ocean's Az so that we may become one with it, maintaining the balance of our relationship with this space that we call Lafkenmapu.
