I would really like for
people to know that
Inuit throat singing is
played between two
people and is not a one
person thing... I think
that is important to
understand because it is
a traditional teaching
of ours, it's not just a
traditional song.

There are a lot of people who think
that Canada only goes from British
Columbia to Newfoundland and the
north is just open land with no people,
no ideas and no innovation – or that we
just live in igloos. This is so far from
the truth. We have the strength and
vision to determine our own structures
and policies and know what our
people need. We are resilient; our
people say that we have survived in
one of the most harshest places to live
in the world, but I believe we haven't
just survived, we have thrived. Take
a look at how dynamic our cultures,
languages and traditions are and you
will see the truth in my belief.

I know a lot of people
who don't know about
the facts and that's
where stereotyping
comes from. Take the
time to understand
before you start
assuming stuff. It's
very important to
educate people
about that.
