Quyanaq Qaikaffi Pangma Nunaptingnun - Tunnganarniq Nunagijavut: Inuvik

Join us as host Bambi Amos interviews her mother, Siliuyaq (Beverly Amos). Beverly shares her history, stories, some tips for working on hides, and the land around her Imaryuk (Husky Lakes) cabin.

Beverly grew up speaking her dialect of Sallirmiutun (the language of the people of the coast), on Ikaahuk (Banks Island), with her parents David Nasogaluak, Agnes Carpenter, and siblings. Beverly is a decades-long Inuvialuktun translator and speaker, and has worked to preserve and promote the three Inuvialuktun dialects through her work with the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre, and the Inuvialuit Communications Society. She is a proud mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who now lives on the land full-time.

First broadcast on September 27th, 2023.
