I’m in Naujaat this week to talk to locals about what Inuktut language means to them. I spoke to youth, hunters and elders.

Fort Smith used its emergency system to tell residents nearby fires aren't currently a threat. Care home residents are being moved to Hay River as a precaution.

Isn’t it interesting to watch and read. What you’re seeing is what people of colour, sexual and gender minorities experience every time they identify instances of bias, discrimination and prejudice. Isn’t it fascinating, and also to see mainly who does it? I’m glad you noticed.
