Dobrodruh, který se stal vědcem a vypravěčem světa mizícího před očima, se narodil 7. června 1879. Vyrůstal mezi Inuity, naučil se jejich jazyk i způsob života a dokázal pochopit jejich kulturu zevnitř. Se psím spřežením podnikl několik expedic do Arktidy. Při té nejslavnější urazil asi 18 000 km od Grónska přes Kanadu až na Aljašku. Během cest zapisoval příběhy, mýty i každodenní zkušenosti původních obyvatel severu, a položil tak základy moderního výzkumu inuitské kultury.

Das Eis ruft - und Arved Fuchs ist nicht zu halten. Nach Monaten der Vorbereitung ist er heute von Kiel aus zur Expedition OCEAN CHANGE 2026/27 nach Grönland und ins arktische Kanada aufgebrochen.Vor fast 50 Jahren waren die Inuit Arved Fuchs' Lehrmeister in der kanadischen Arktis, erzählt er in dieser Podcast-Folge. Sie zeigten ihm, wie man im Eis überlebt, wie man die Natur liest, wie man mit ihr lebt statt gegen sie. Seitdem hat er die Region auf unzähligen Expeditionen immer wieder aufgesucht, hat ihren Wandel verfolgt, dokumentiert, bezeugt. Nun führt ihn sein Weg erneut dorthin – fast fünf Jahrzehnte später, mit dem Wissen um eine fundamental veränderte Welt im Gepäck. Was die Inuit ihm damals lehrten, ist heute wichtiger denn je. Die neue Etappe der Expeditionsreihe OCEAN CHANGE führt Arved Fuchs, seine Crew und die Dagmar Aaen über Island und Grönland in das arktische Kanada – in eine Landschaft, die er seit 50 Jahren kennt und deren Wandel er wie kaum ein anderer bezeugen kann. Deshalb ist Arved Fuchs auch bei dieser Expedition als Botschafter des deutschen Komitees der UN-Ozeandekade unterwegs.

Photo: The South Dakota Board of Minerals and Environment conducts a hearing about a uranium exploration permit application on May 19, 2026, at the Mueller Civic Center in Hot Springs, South Dakota. (Meghan O'Brien/South Dakota Searchlight) A new South Dakota law requires language translation services for some government proceedings. The law does not take effect until July, but it already had a test during a hearing on a uranium drilling permit application. South Dakota Searchlight's Meghan O'Brien explains. The new law requires translation services for contested administrative cases, like a pending case involving a permit application for uranium exploration in the southern Black Hills. State Rep. Erik Muckey (D-SD) sponsored the legislation. “Any proceeding that’s open to the public would receive or have those translation services available at no cost to the participants, so it would be covered by the state of South Dakota. We can’t turn people away from due process of law, and we need to be able to provide that, especially knowing that we already do this when it comes to the civil and criminal case law that goes before the state.” The state Board of Minerals and Environment is considering the drilling permit. Some project opponents requested Lakota interpretation services. Lakota-speaking tribes formerly controlled the Black Hills as part of the Great Sioux Reservation. There is rock art created thousands of years ago on the walls of Craven Canyon near the drilling site. The board voted in March to provide interpretation services. Board members knew the new law won't take effect until July first, but decided to honor the intent of the law anyway. Alex White Plume is one of the two people hired to interpret spoken English into Lakota during the hearing. “I speak Lakota better than I speak English.” He grew up in Manderson, an especially rural part of the Pine Ridge Reservation. “The vast majority of the members of my community will still speak Lakota, and it’s funny to hear somebody come speak white man language amongst us, you know, cause it sounds funny.” White Plume was happy to interpret the hearing. “That was really important for the Lakota speakers to really hear their language and get a clear understanding about what the legal jargon was that the lawyers were speaking. So it's really an important day, and to me, it was a historic day.” But the state board failed to provide a Lakota interpreter for the first day of the hearing. A state official said potential interpreters had conflicts of interest or scheduling conflicts that prevented them from accepting the role. On the second day of the hearing, the department contracted with two interpreters — White Plume and Leola One Feather. So, when Clean Nuclear Energy's legal counsel asked a question to an executive for its parent company, Nexus Uranium … “Can you generally describe steps Clean Nuclear Energy took to evaluate the project's potential impact on historic, archaeologic, geologic, scientific, recreational aspects of the effective surrounding land?” …Leola One Feather translated. As the hearing continued, some exchanges went without interpretation. Project opponents in the audience objected. Elizabeth Lone Eagle (Rosebud Sioux), is one of more than a dozen people who have filed official complaints against the project. “This is institutionalized racism, and you are promoting it.” She interjected after exchanges between the hearing chair, lawyers, and a witness went untranslated. “You are forbidding her from doing her job, because you want your white colonizer sanitized way of doing things.” The board did not respond and the hearing continued. The day after that exchange, Lone Eagle filed a federal lawsuit against the board, the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the company seeking the permit. It cites concerns about the hearing's lack of interpretation on the first day. A spokesperson for the department told South Dakota Searchlight that the hearing is adjourned until the lawsuit is resolved. (Courtesy Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska / Facebook) Alaska Native leaders are remembering a long-time advocate for Inuit rights, James “Jimmy” Stotts, who passed away in May. As the Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, Stotts spent decades promoting food sovereignty and creating a unifying voice for Indigenous people across the Arctic. James “Jimmy” Stotts died late last month after a long fight with cancer. He was 78. For more than four decades, Stotts led the Inuit Circumpolar Council, an organization that represents Inuit people from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia. In his work, he fought for protecting Inuit food sovereignty and culture, and for including Inuit people in the decisions concerning the Arctic. Patsy Aamodt was Stotts' friend and former colleague. “He cared so much for our people all across the circumpolar north, because we’re related.” Stotts was born in Utqiagvik and lived in various villages across Alaska. “He knew the importance of making sure caribou were caught…. Nobody had to explain that to him.” Stotts worked for several tribal organizations, including the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. Rex Rock Sr., the current head of the corporation, called Stotts a mentor. “He was someone that I respected, and you always looked up to, right?” The leadership of the Inuit Circumpolar Council Alaska said in a written statement that Stotts worked to bring people across the Arctic together. Rock says that Stotts' Utqiagvik roots helped those efforts. “We know, being whalers, that you cannot accomplish landing that whale on your own. … He knew what it took to work together to accomplish great things.” Former Alaska politician and Northwest Arctic leader Reggie Joule knew Stotts for a long time. He says Stotts was among leaders who made it their goal to educate others about the Iñupiaq way of life. “This is something that Jimmy understood really well – rise to the challenge and responsibility of being an Indigenous person. … It goes on to basics – teaching your children the things that we would like to continue to be.” Joule and Aamodt say they hope Stotts' legacy lives on and the young people take on that mantle. (Courtesy San Carlos Apache Council) The San Carlos Apache Council has hired a forensic accounting firm to conduct an audit following recent allegations of embezzlement by the tribe's own staffers. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. Four employees, including the tribe's secretary, have all been placed on paid administrative leave pending this review. The staffers have been accused of cashing fraudulent checks using the tribe's funeral assistance fund by creating hundreds of fake names for spouses or siblings, who are not enrolled. The family of each deceased relative is entitled up to $850. The team responsible for overseeing the burial expense program paid out nearly $470,000 within the last six months alone. The tribe says it remains “committed to ensuring that all funds are accurately accounted for.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Scott Gilliland has spent his lifetime studying common eiders, visiting some of the harshest and most remote environments on earth, but this conversation goes way, way beyond this beautiful sea duck species. From Arctic field camps and sea ice to Inuit communities that have coexisted with eiders for generations, Gilliland shares stories of adventure, isolation, survival, and a remote northern world that most of us can only imagine. This episode explores people, places, and cultures surrounding sea ducks as much as the birds themselves--and what the Arctic taught him about it all.

Kwe signifie «bonjour» dans de nombreuses langues autochtones et c'est sur le principe de la rencontre, fertile, respectueuse, que les communautés autochtones accueillent et se présentent aux visiteurs de passage. Troisième et dernière étape: à Pessamit, sur la Côte Nord, parmi les Innu, un peuple de tradition nomade, profondément ancré dans son territoire ancestral: le Nitassinan. Aujourd'hui, malgré les blessures coloniales, les Innu de Pessamit s'attachent à partager leur culture millénaire. Celui ou celle qui pose le pied au Québec, connaît certainement le roman de la Nouvelle France, terre de pionniers et de colons francophones en Amérique. Une terre qui jadis, avant l'arrivée de Jacques Cartier ou Samuel de Champlain, se vivait depuis des millénaires en partage et en mouvement par des hommes et des femmes parmi les lacs, les rivières et la forêt boréale. Des peuples autochtones, à qui l'on doit -notamment- le nom du Canada, « Kanata » signifiant village en langue iroquoienne ou wendat, ou Québec qui désigne « là où le fleuve se rétrécit » en langue algonquienne. Des peuples qui, pour la plupart, s'appellent, se désignent dans leurs langues simplement « humains ». C'est donc aux sources de cette humanité en Amérique que l'on vous propose de vous emmener pour une série en 3 épisodes, au Québec autochtone, à la rencontre de communautés que l'on connaît trop mal, à commencer par leurs noms. Petit rappel : au Québec, il existe 11 nations autochtones : les Inuit et dix Premières Nations parmi lesquelles les Wendat, les Innu, les Anishinaabeg, les Atikamekw, les Mi'kmaq, les Kanien'kehá:ka, les Naskapi, les Eeyouch, les Wolastoqiyik et les W8banakiak. Leurs communautés se déploient à travers tout le Québec et sont encore placées sous le régime des dites « réserves indiennes », des territoires non cédés par les autochtones mais appartenant à la Couronne, réservés à l'usage d'une « bande indienne » ou d'une communauté autochtone. Longtemps perçus par les allochtones ou non autochtones, comme des lieux clos, interdits, ces communautés sont en fait des lieux de vie ouverts à tous et toutes, des espaces de transmissions et de cultures passionnants. Là-bas, des musées, des sites culturels mais aussi les paysages de rivières, de lacs ou de forêts racontent l'histoire et la grandeur de ces premiers peuples. Le Québec autochtone est un territoire immense -le Québec est 3 fois plus grand que la France- et les réalités comme les histoires de chaque Nation et à l'intérieur, de chaque communauté, sont multiples voire infinies. Même si elles ont toutes en commun d'avoir été malmenées par la colonisation et la sédentarisation forcée. Mais les autochtones sont toujours là, bel et bien là ; et aujourd'hui, tous et toutes ont à cœur de reprendre la main et le narratif sur qui ils sont et d'où ils viennent. Troisième étape, à Pessamit, une communauté innu placée au bord du Fleuve Saint Laurent sur la Côte Nord. Autrefois appelés Montagnais, les Innu sont la nation la plus importante en population de la province francophone, soit plus de 20 000 personnes déployées en 11 Communautés, entre le Québec et le Labrador, sur des terres ancestrales qui n'ont jamais été cédées par des accords ou des traités. Présents dans la région depuis des millénaires (des fouilles ont prouvé l'existence d'un peuple de chasseurs remontant à 5 500 ans avant notre ère), les Innu étaient là au moment du passage des « explorateurs » européens Jacques Cartier ou Samuel de Champlain au XVIè et XVIIè siècle. Aujourd'hui, à Pessamit, on dénombre 2 500 habitants environ, dont plus de 80% parlent encore leur langue, l'innu aimun. Car jusque dans les années 50, les Innu ont su garder un lien puissant avec leurs traditions, des traditions mises à mal par les barrages, la colonisation et l'évangélisation. Depuis quelque temps, Pessamit développe l'été des visites guidées, à la découverte d'une culture nomade millénaire, tournée vers l'intérieur des terres, la terre ancestrale, socle de leur pensée et de leur civilisation : le Nitassinan. Avec des habitants, acteurs, actrices culturel.le.s et touristiques, pêcheur, ancien chef de bande, guides, conteur ou poétesse comme Joséphine Bacon que l'on avait rencontrée en 2021. C'est elle qui nous avait donné envie de partir dans le vaste Nitassinan innu. Une série en 3 épisodes de Laure Allary et Céline Develay-Mazurelle. Avec : - Joséphine Bacon, poétesse innu de renom, originaire de Pessamit - Robert Dominique, aîné de la communauté et ancien chef de bande de Pessamit - Kathy Moreau Lacasse, guide innu au centre communautaire Ka Mamuitunanut - Wilfrid Apik Hervieux, conteur de mythes et légendes innu - Lily-Rose Bacon, jeune étudiante innu - Jean-Louis ou Muâku, pêcheur à la truite innu - Céline Bacon, agent culturel et touristique innu à Pessamit - Moïse Junior Ashini travaille au camp innu Uamastakenis qu'a créé son père - Geneviève Ashini, soeur de Moïse, travaille au camp innu Uamastakenis qu'a créé son père.

Kwe signifie « bonjour » dans de nombreuses langues autochtones et c'est sur le principe de la rencontre, fertile, respectueuse, que les communautés autochtones accueillent et se présentent aux visiteurs de passage. Deuxième étape : dans le Saguenay, au bord du lac Saint-Jean ou Pekuakami, où jadis le peuple ilnu se rassemblait à l'été, avant de repartir nomadiser. Aujourd'hui, on y trouve la communauté ilnu de Mashteuiatsh. Celui ou celle qui pose le pied au Québec, connaît certainement le roman de la Nouvelle France, terre de pionniers et de colons francophones en Amérique. Une terre qui jadis, avant l'arrivée de Jacques Cartier ou Samuel de Champlain, se vivait depuis des millénaires en partage et en mouvement par des hommes et des femmes parmi les lacs, les rivières et la forêt boréale. Des peuples autochtones, à qui l'on doit -notamment- le nom du Canada, « Kanata » signifiant village en langue iroquoienne ou wendat, ou Québec qui désigne « là où le fleuve se rétrécit » en langue algonquienne. Des peuples qui pour la plupart s'appellent, se désignent dans leurs langues simplement « humains ». C'est donc aux sources de cette humanité en Amérique que l'on vous propose de vous emmener pour une série en 3 épisodes, au Québec autochtone, à la rencontre de communautés que l'on connaît trop mal, à commencer par leurs noms. Petit rappel : au Québec, il existe 11 nations autochtones: les Inuit et dix Premières Nations parmi lesquels les Wendat, les Innu, les Anishinaabeg, les Atikamekw, les Mi'kmaq, les Kanien'kehá:ka, les Naskapi, les Eeyouch, les Wolastoqiyik et les W8banakiak. Leurs communautés se déploient à travers tout le Québec et sont encore placées sous le régime des dites « réserves indiennes », des territoires non cédés par les autochtones mais appartenant à la Couronne, réservés à l'usage d'une « bande indienne » ou d'une communauté autochtone. Longtemps perçus par les allochtones ou non autochtones, comme des lieux clos, interdits, ces communautés sont en fait des lieux de vie ouverts à tous et toutes, des espaces de transmissions et de cultures passionnants. Là-bas, des musées, des sites culturels mais aussi les paysages de rivières, de lacs ou de forêts racontent l'histoire et la grandeur de ces premiers peuples. Le Québec autochtone est un territoire immense -le Québec est 3 fois plus grand que la France- et les réalités comme les histoires de chaque Nation et à l'intérieur, de chaque communauté, sont multiples voire infinies. Même si elles ont toutes en commun d'avoir été malmenées par la colonisation et la sédentarisation forcée. Mais les autochtones sont toujours là, bel et bien là; et aujourd'hui, tous et toutes ont à cœur de reprendre la main et le narratif sur qui ils sont et d'où ils viennent. Deuxième étape, devant l'immense lac Pekuakami ou « lac peu profond », au sein de la communauté ilnu de Mashteuiatsh. Une terre dite de « réserve » de 15 km2 où vivent près de 2000 Pekuakamiulnuatsch sur ses 9 000 membres… Mashteuiatsh signifie dans leur langue, le nehlueun, « là où il y a une pointe » ; une pointe sur le grand lac au bord duquel ils vivent, au cœur du « Nitassinan » innu soit « notre territoire », socle de leur culture nomade millénaire. Les Ilnu de Mashteuiatsh appartiennent à la grande nation innu. Autrefois appelés Montagnais, les Innu sont la nation la plus importante en population de la province francophone, soit plus de 20 000 personnes déployées en 11 Communautés, entre le Québec et le Labrador, sur des terres ancestrales qui n'ont jamais été cédées par des accords ou des traités. Malgré l'accaparement de leurs terres, la construction de barrages, l'assimilation à travers la logique des pensionnats autochtones qui avait pour but de « tuer l'indien dans l'enfant », les Ilnu de Mashteuiatsh retissent patiemment, doucement, les fils d'une culture et d'un héritage malmenés par l'histoire coloniale. Tous et toutes continuent de marcher la tête haute, dans les pas de leurs ancêtres que symbolisent les étoiles et qu'à la nuit tombée, on regarde d'un œil différent, une fois au bord du lac… Rencontre avec des acteurs culturels: écrivain, poétesse, artiste, artisane, chercheuse ou guide, tous et toutes membres de la communauté ilnu Une série en 3 épisodes de Laure Allary et Céline Develay-Mazurelle.

This week's podcast explores the rare conjunction between Uranus and Sedna, exact on May 24, 2026, against the backdrop of massive outer-planet shifts including Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, and Uranus entering Gemini. Through the Inuit myth of Sedna — the betrayed girl who descends into the depths and becomes the source of life itself — we explore themes of transformation, feminism, technological awakening, survival, and rebirth. This episode reflects on how we move beyond narratives of harm alone and into conscious co-creation of a new cultural story.

Dr. John Rae was a Scottish surgeon who became one of the most remarkable Arctic explorers of the 19th century, and one of its most unjustly forgotten. Between 1846 and 1854, Rae led four major Arctic expeditions, trekking, sailing, and canoeing more than 37,000 kilometres across some of the most unforgiving terrain on Earth. His discovery of Rae Strait proved to be the final link in a navigable Northwest Passage, which was successfully used by Roald Amundsen in 1903–06. But it was another discovery that would define, and destroy his legacy. In 1854, Rae encountered Inuit hunters who produced artefacts from the lost Franklin Expedition and revealed that the final survivors had been driven to cannibalism. When he brought this news back to Britain, Lady Jane Franklin and Charles Dickens launched a campaign slandering the Inuit as probable murderers, and Rae, as a result, became the only major British explorer of his day never to receive a knighthood. Unlike his peers, Rae was willing to adopt and learn the ways of indigenous Arctic peoples, which made him stand out as the foremost specialist of his time in cold-climate survival and travel, a quality that made him extraordinarily effective in the field, and deeply unpopular in the drawing rooms of Victorian England. In this episode of Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs, host Rich Napolitano tells the full story of Dr. John Rae: ship's surgeon, Arctic surveyor, Franklin expedition investigator, and one of history's most consequential figures hiding in plain sight.

Kwe signifie « bonjour » dans de nombreuses langues autochtones et c'est sur le principe de la rencontre, fertile, respectueuse, que les communautés autochtones se présentent et accueillent les visiteurs de passage. Première étape : à deux pas de la ville de Québec, dans la communauté de Wendake jadis désignée comme « le village huron », un lieu qui fait office de porte d'entrée dans ce monde qui, bien sûr, n'était pas nouveau. Celui ou celle qui pose le pied au Québec, connaît certainement le roman de la Nouvelle France, terre de pionniers et de colons francophones en Amérique. Une terre qui, jadis, avant l'arrivée de Jacques Cartier ou Samuel de Champlain, se vivait depuis des millénaires en partage et en mouvement par des hommes et des femmes parmi les lacs, les rivières et la forêt boréale.

Mais les autochtones sont toujours là, bel et bien là ; et aujourd'hui, tous et toutes ont à cœur de reprendre la main et le narratif sur qui ils sont et d'où ils viennent. Wendake est une toute petite terre de « réserve » -un terme présent dans la « Loi sur les Indiens de 1876 » encore en vigueur- située tout proche de la ville de Québec. Par sa proximité avec la ville et le rôle de son peuple, les Wendat, dans l'histoire des premiers contacts avec les colons français, cette communauté représente une passerelle, un bon point de départ pour qui voudrait voyager en terre autochtone. Aujourd'hui, environ 1 500 Wendat, sur les 5 000 recensés, vivent à Wendake, issus d'un peuple survivant, venu des Grands Lacs qui, à la fin du XVIIe siècle, va trouver refuge au bord de la rivière Saint Charles ou « Akiawenhrahk » soit « la rivière à la truite » en wendat. Depuis, les Wendat ont résisté à l'urbanisation et à l'assimilation coloniale et défendent fièrement leur territoire ancestral, le Nionwentsïo, leur passé millénaire comme leur présent moderne, ouvert sur le monde. Rencontre avec des acteurs culturels : directeur de musée, guides, écrivain, éditeur, juriste, conteurs ou musiciens, tous et toutes membres de la communauté wendat.

In this episode, Dr. Paul Wheatley-Price talks to Dr. Sara Moore about her work and experience in caring for Inuit populations in Nunavut affected by lung cancer. What is the scope of the populations she treats, the unique access barriers for diagnostics and treatment, and how their lung cancer experiences may differ than those living in Southern Canada. Dr. Moore is an Assistant Professor at University of Ottawa, Medical Oncologist and Lung Disease Site Lead at The Ottawa Hospital.
Inuit are Indigenous peoples. They have their own language. They have their own ways of doing things. They hunt. They fish. And they live in very, very cold places.因紐特人是原住民,他們有自己的語言和生活方式。他們住在天寒地凍的地方,以捕魚跟打獵維生。Click HERE for the full transcript!
Few places are warming quicker than the far north. It's a reality Inuit in Labrador know all too well, and are working to adapt to. In today's episode, meet a team of Inuk youth and researchers in a week-long camp at the northernmost tip of Nunatsiavut, learning about how climate change is affecting their land and culture, and what they can do about it. This documentary by Heidi Atter first aired in 2025, and has now been shortlisted for the New York Festivals Radio Award.
A gene mutation that reduces ketone production in the fasted state is associated with sudden infant death in modern populations. But in the ancestral context where it evolved alongside an omega-3-rich diet, it may have been part of what kept infants alive.Dr. Gideon Mailer and Nicola Hale join The Metabolic Link to present their hypothesis that the CPT1A L479 Arctic variant is not anti-ketogenic but pro-metabolic flexibility, conserving glucose by upregulating ketosis at the fed-state threshold. Their work explains why SIDS rates are dramatically elevated in modern Inuit communities no longer eating the ancestral Inuit diet, and how omega-3 fatty acids counteract the downregulation the mutation produces.The clinical picture extends beyond infancy. Modern carriers of the variant show lower triglycerides, lower VLDL, slightly higher HDL, and a "healthy obesity" phenotype with favorable fat distribution. But the health advantages seen in traditional Inuit populations disappear with Western diet adoption, as cardiovascular disease and diabetes rates rise to match the general population.Questions Answered in This Episode:How is the mutation associated with SIDS, and why is there a detrimental effect in modern populations?How prevalent is the CPT1A Arctic variant in the U.S. population, and does partial Inuit ancestry carry metabolic consequences?How do omega-3 fatty acids physically upregulate CPT1A activity and concentration within cell membranes?What metabolic markers distinguish carriers of the L479 variant from non-carriers?What happens to cardiovascular disease rates in Inuit populations that adopt Western diets?What should people take away from the Arctic variant story for their own metabolic health?A sobering case study in what happens when ancestral genetic adaptations collide with modern dietary environments, and what can be recovered when they are realigned.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here.✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

The Norse settlement of Greenland, founded by Eric the Red in approximately 985 AD, provides a poignant and sad look at the final chapters of the Viking Age. Excavations at the Herjolfsness graveyard at the southern tip of Greenlandhave yielded extraordinary organic material preserved by the permafrost, including the clothing of the last inhabitants. These garments, such as a patched and coarse woolen dress, reveal that by the 15th century, the Greenlanders were no longer high-status people and had become increasingly isolated from the broader Norse diaspora. The settlement struggled as the climate cooled, while the Inuit people, who were better adapted to the Arctic conditions, thrived and moved further south. Artifacts like small wooden figures found in the region suggest interactions between the Norse Greenlanders and the Inuit populations. The final historical records of the colony are remarkably personal, documenting a witch burning in 1407 and a wedding in 1408. In the case of the witch burning, a man named Kolgrim was executed for allegedly using witchcraft to seduce a married woman. These events represent the last known activities of the Norse in Greenland before they vanished entirely, leaving behind only ruins and memories in the ice. 8/81630
First Nations, Inuit, and Métis leaders across Canada are calling for an investigation into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). That's following a report by CBC Indigenous that uncovered evidence of a secret surveillance program targeting Indigenous organizations and individuals using wiretaps, informants, and counter subversion tactics from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The report confirms what many Indigenous communities long suspected. We’ll also reflect on 150 years of the Indian Act, the Canadian federal statute that defines First Nations membership or “Indian Status”. A new bill in Canada’s parliament could significantly expand status eligibility for thousands of individuals and their descendants.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Kieran Zimmer — a software developer and independent researcher in psychology and psychometrics — to explore the science behind intelligence and personality. They trace the origins of psychometrics from Wilhelm Wundt's early experimental psychology through Charles Spearman's discovery of the g factor, breaking down what IQ actually measures, how verbal, mathematical, and spatial intelligence relate to one another, and why training specific cognitive tasks doesn't translate into a broader boost in general intelligence. The conversation moves into the Big Five personality traits reframed through a cybernetic lens — looking at extraversion as reward sensitivity, agreeableness as social affiliation, and conscientiousness as long-term goal prioritization — before landing on Kieran's original research into the psychology of agency: what personality profile best predicts agentic behavior, and why the environment shapes whether agency is even adaptive in the first place.Show notes:Substack: Liminal RevolutionsTwitter/X: @LiminalRevYouTube: @TheKieranZimmer (to listen to Kieran's conference talk on the agency paper)Timestamps00:00 — Stewart and Kieran trace the origins of psychometrics back to Spearman, Binet, and Wilhelm Wundt's early experimental psychology.05:00 — The conversation unpacks the g factor, fluid vs. crystallized intelligence, and why IQ is fundamentally a physical trait tied to nerve conduction velocity.10:00 — A tangent into AI and LLMs: why they lack vision, taste, judgment, and accountability — the human moat that remains for now.15:00 — Stewart's Claude Code failure sparks a discussion on AI accountability, surveillance, and the rise of dystopian technocracy.20:00 — Parallel structures as a form of exit from failing institutions, and the high-agency people required to build them.25:00 — Agency, risk-taking, and accountability through Napoleon, the Inuit, and why modern Western leaders are managers, not leaders.30:00 — Elites vs. peasants, cost externalization, and Kirk Doolittle's natural law as the physics of cooperation.35:00 — Ressentiment, Nietzsche's under-utilization in psychology, and how secularism replaced the church.40:00 — Kieran's quantitative conspiracy theory study: factor analysis of 85 questions across 273 respondents.45:00 — Two branches of conspiracy belief: the aliens-and-Satanism cluster vs. the fakery factor pathway to Flat Earth.50:00 — AI psychosis, Gnosticism, and the collapse of sense-making institutions in an age of information overload.55:00 — Michael Levin's embodied cognition and cybernetic agency: thermostats, humans, and homeostatic set points.1:00:00 — The Cybernetic Big Five broken down: extraversion as reward sensitivity, agreeableness, neuroticism, and the optimal personality profile for agency.Key InsightsIQ is a physical trait, not just an abstract score. It's rooted in nerve conduction velocity, brain connectivity, and processing speed — and while you can improve crystallized intelligence through learning, the underlying g factor doesn't budge no matter how many brain training apps you use.The human moat against AI comes down to four things: vision, taste, judgment, and accountability. LLMs are powerful next-token predictors, but they have no stake in the outcome and no capacity to own a mistake — which means a human with those qualities will always be essential.High agency is not just ambition — it's a measurable psychological profile. Kieran's paper frames it through the Cybernetic Big Five: high assertiveness, high intellect, low politeness, low neuroticism, and medium conscientiousness. Getting things done at scale almost always involves upsetting people.All agentic behavior involves risk, and the willingness to absorb that risk is what separates real leaders from managers. Modern Western leadership has decoupled decision-making from consequence, which is why institutions are losing trust and authority at an accelerating rate.Conspiracy belief follows a measurable path dependency. Kieran's factor analysis showed that virtually everyone who believes in Flat Earth also endorses the fakery factor and the Jewish question cluster — but not vice versa. It's a spectrum with a clear escalation pattern, not a random set of unrelated beliefs.AI is accelerating epistemic breakdown. Sycophantic models will validate almost any idea, which has started producing a new category of high-IQ delusion — intelligent people convincing themselves they've solved Millennium Prize problems because the AI kept agreeing with them.The Big Five personality traits can be recast as cybernetic parameters — each one an evolutionarily selected mechanism for regulating goal-directed behavior. Extraversion is reward sensitivity, agreeableness is social affiliation, neuroticism is threat response, and conscientiousness is the preference for long-term over short-term goals.
Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Decoding the Silent Language of Antarctic Penguins Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2026-04-29-22-34-01-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 在北极苔原的广袤冰原上,白雪反射着微弱的阳光,En: On the vast icy plains of the Arctic tundra, the snow reflects the dim sunlight.Zh: 一顶顶研究帐篷点缀其中,远处还有一群群滑稽的企鹅在雪地上穿梭。En: Dotted among it are numerous research tents, and in the distance, groups of comical penguins shuttle across the snow.Zh: 梁是一个充满冒险精神的科学家,他深爱着大自然的生灵。En: Liang is a scientist filled with a spirit of adventure, and he deeply loves the living creatures of nature.Zh: 此时,他正专注于研究企鹅的迁徙规律。En: At this moment, he is focused on studying the migration patterns of penguins.Zh: 梁并不孤单,他的朋友纯是另一位研究员,En: Liang is not alone; his friend Chun is another researcher.Zh: 虽然性格健忘,但总是乐于助人。En: Although he is forgetful, he is always eager to help.Zh: 还有梅,当地因纽特人,聪慧又风趣,她常协助研究队在极地求生。En: There's also Mei, an indigenous Inuit who is smart and humorous, often assisting the research team in polar survival.Zh: 梁的一个梦想是与这些企鹅“对话”,了解它们如何决定迁徙的路线。En: One of Liang's dreams is to "talk" with these penguins, to understand how they decide on their migration routes.Zh: 为了实现这一愿望,梁给每只企鹅系上书信,希望它们能给他某种回应。En: To achieve this, Liang tied letters to each penguin, hoping they would give him some kind of response.Zh: 但问题是,企鹅根本不会阅读。En: But the problem is, penguins can't read at all.Zh: 而且,纯总是不小心把信绑错企鹅,结果引来了一场场无头绪的“追逐战”。En: Moreover, Chun always accidentally ties the letters to the wrong penguin, resulting in a series of bewildering "chase scenes."Zh: 有一天,梁灵机一动。En: One day, Liang had a sudden idea.Zh: 他决定抛弃书信,改用简单的视觉信号。En: He decided to abandon letters and use simple visual signals instead.Zh: 他用帐篷布和竹竿,搭建起一个简易的旗语系统,试图用这些“旗语”同企鹅沟通。En: He used tent fabric and bamboo poles to construct a simple semaphore system, attempting to communicate with the penguins through these "flags."Zh: 然而,突如其来的一场暴风雪切断了所有通讯,梁被迫与企鹅们一道躲避风雪。En: However, a sudden blizzard cut off all communications, forcing Liang to take shelter with the penguins from the storm.Zh: 在雪洞中,梁只能安静观察企鹅之间的互动。En: In the snow cave, Liang could only quietly observe the interactions among the penguins.Zh: 他注意到企鹅会用身体语言来交换信息:轻轻地晃动头部,挥动翅膀,或者整齐地排成一线。En: He noticed that the penguins used body language to exchange information: gently shaking their heads, flapping their wings, or lining up neatly in a row.Zh: 通过这些观察,梁终于理解企鹅的“悄声交流”。En: Through these observations, Liang finally understood the penguins' "silent communication."Zh: 当风雪停止,梁满怀新知返回营地,对梅和纯讲述了他的发现。En: When the storm stopped, Liang returned to the camp full of new knowledge and shared his discoveries with Mei and Chun.Zh: 梁的研究取得了突破。En: Liang's research made a breakthrough.Zh: 他不仅证明了自己的假设,还更加尊重自然中的无声语言。En: He not only proved his hypothesis but also gained a deeper respect for the silent language of nature.Zh: 这段经历让梁明白,灵活的思维往往胜过固执的计划。En: This experience taught Liang that flexible thinking often surpasses rigid plans.Zh: 他决定在今后的研究中,更多地依靠直觉和观察,而不是单纯依赖书面交流。En: He decided that in his future research, he would rely more on intuition and observation rather than just written communication.Zh: 梁望着远处逐渐消失在冰原中的企鹅,心中感到无比满足。En: Liang looked at the penguins gradually disappearing on the icy plains in the distance, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.Zh: 他感谢大自然的启迪,也对新学到的“语言”心怀敬意。En: He was grateful for nature's enlightenment and held a profound respect for the new "language" he had learned.

For decades, fiber was shorthand for digestiveregularity. Today, the science tells a more complex and far more interesting story.In this episode of The Mind–Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Professor Jens Walter, a leading microbiome scientist at University College Cork in Ireland, to discuss one of nutrition's most surprising findings: fiber supplements don't work like whole foods.Prof. Walter's research reveals a striking paradox. In clinical trials, fiber supplements consistently show minimal or negative results. But when his team studied a non-industrialized diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables — mirroring ancestral eating patterns with around 45 grams of fiber daily — the metabolic and immune effects were profound.The difference isn't just about fiber content. It's about food structure. Prof. Walter explains how intrinsic fiber — thethree-dimensional architecture of plant cell walls — traps nutrients, slows digestion, and fundamentally changes how the body processes food. He also explores emerging mechanisms like pH lowering, which reduces carcinogenic metabolites in the gut, and the often-overlooked role of eating speed in metabolic health.This conversation challenges widely held assumptions aboutsupplements, processed foods, and what it actually takes to eat well. Prof. Walter also addresses common questions: Does cooking destroy fiber? What about low-fiber diets like the Inuit tradition? And why do we keep hearing that healthy food is bland?This episode offers a grounded, evidence-based look at howtraditional diets — cooked, flavorful, and built on whole foods — can fundamentally change metabolism and immune function in short periods of time.Topics discussed include:• Why fiber supplements fail where whole foods succeed• What intrinsic fiber is and why food structure matters• How pH lowering in the gut reduces carcinogenic metabolites• The role of eating speed and satiety in metabolic health• What the Inuit and Mediterranean populations reveal about diet diversity• Ultra-processed foods vs. whole food diets• How cooking affects fiber, polyphenols, and nutrient content• Why the magnitude of diet's effects on health “can't be overstated”This is a practical, science-driven discussion for anyone interested in nutrition, gut health, microbiome science, and chronic disease prevention.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction3:05 - The Fiber Paradox: Supplements vs. Whole Foods7:37 - What Is Intrinsic Fiber?10:23 - Traditional Diets: Inuit, Mediterranean, and Longevity15:49 - Food Diversity and Fiber Combinations21:18 - Is There an Ancestral Human Diet?28:38 - Can We Engineer Healthier Processed Foods?32:03 - Adding Fiber to Modern Foods36:31 - The Critical Role of Eating Speed43:54 - Does Cooking Destroy Fiber?47:07 - Why Healthy Eating Isn't Bland

Eleanor Barraclough offers a poignant look at the Norse settlement of Greenland, founded by Eric the Red in 985 AD. At the Herjolfsness graveyard, well-preserved organic material reveals the coarse, patched clothing of 15th-century inhabitants, indicating their isolation and decline. As the climate cooled, the Norse struggled while the Inuit thrived, with the final records including a witch burning in 1407 and a wedding in 1408 — the last known activities before the colony vanished.

Send us Fan MailThe 12th Arctic Encounter Summit was held April 15-17, 2026 in Anchorage,Alaska at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center. Many leaders and attendees that gather year after year for the Arctic Encounter come for renewal and friendship with the common bond of all things Arctic, including discussions about climate change, scientific research, fisheries, natural resources, Arctic policy, military strategy, meting sea ice and permafrost, subsistence hunting, land usage and leadership of Indigenous youth. After a rather tense year in Arctic Geopolitics, this year's Arctic Encounter served an even greater purpose of renewal and rebuilding trust of alliances. For those first learning about the Arctic Encounter, it is the largest Arctic Policy event attended by Arctic leaders and Indigenous leaders, Members of Parliament and Ambassadors from nations including the United States, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Faroe Islands, Slovenia, European Union, and Indigenous Leaders including the Inuit & Inupiat and more. Military leaders, businesses of the North, including Alaska Airlines, Davie Defense, and the University of Alaska also were part of the discussions, breakout sessions and forums. Senator Lisa Murkowski and Governor Mike Dunleavy gave featured remarks during luncheons on Thursday and Friday that added important leadership insights about the current state of affairs as well as the importance of maintaining alliances among all of the Arctic Nations. This year's challenges in the Arctic felt like a 'Summit' since the tensions, war in Iran and a disrupted world order have greatly impacted the trust between long time allies and alliances. The moderators that played a key role in the intensive discussions held over the three days were Mike Sfraga and Libby Casey, both being as seasoned as they come. Sfraga, a former US Ambassador for Arctic Affairs, and Casey of NPR and former Washington Post and Alaska Public Media, tactfully led panels of leaders, scientists, politicians, and Indigenous leaders thru fascinating and sometimes difficult topics about the current affairs in the Arctic. Founder and CEO of the Arctic Encounter, Rachel Kallander and her team, Jackson Blackwell, Reed Davidson, and Board of Directors created a welcoming atmosphere at this year's 2026 Arctic Encounter Summit that fostered discussions, collaboration, friendship and renewed bonds for an inclusive exceptional Arctic Policy event. https://www.arcticencounter.comI'd like to thank Rachel Kallander, Jackson Blackwell, Reed Davidson, and their incredible teamwork in putting on this year's Arctic Encounter Summit.

Did we invent glasses, or did we invent the problem that makes us need them?
Alex Ootowak grew up watching narwhals, the “unicorns of the sea”, frolic in Canada's Arctic waters. Then a nearby mine changed everything. In this episode, hear how underwater recordings reveal a decline in narwhals - and why scientists couldn't research these enigmatic creatures without the Inuit community.
Witnessing the Northern Lights is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences on the planet, and in today's interview episode we're going to hear what it feels like to stand beneath them - a cascade of color raining down from the sky all around you. In Norse mythology the Aurora were the armour of the Valkyries. The Inuit saw spirits playing in the sky. The Sami hid indoors in fear. And science has its own story too, because what we are really witnessing is the energy of the sun itself, travelling 93 million miles across space, and exploding into color in our atmosphere. We may now be able to explain them scientifically, but their effect on us is unchanged. This is a story about the science of solar winds and magnetic fields, the mythology of ancient cultures who saw gods and fire in the sky, and the art of chasing something wild, unpredictable and utterly mesmerizing. Taking us deeper into that experience is Tom Kerss, one of the world's leading Aurora experts. Tom's passion for the Aurora is infectious, his knowledge extraordinary, and his way of describing what you see in that sky inspiring and poetic.FIND OUT MOREProduced in collaboration with Lonely Planet: lonelyplanet.com Tom Kerss is one of the world's leading Aurora experts and the onboard Aurora guide for expedition cruise company Hurtigruten.

Museet lukker snart,” advarede han.En: "We need to be quick. The museum is closing soon," he warned.Da: Men de blev opslugt af jagten, uset af tiden.En: But they were absorbed in the hunt, unnoticed by time.Da: Klokken slog sex, og pludselig blev lysene slukket.En: The clock struck six, and suddenly the lights went out.Da: Dørene smækkede.En: The doors slammed shut.Da: De var fanget.En: They were trapped.Da: Mikkel grinte nervøst.En: Mikkel laughed nervously.Da: ”Måske er dette en del af skattejagten?” sagde han.En: "Maybe this is part of the treasure hunt?" he said.Da: Bjarke sukkede.En: Bjarke sighed.Da: ”Vi sidder i knibe.”En: "We're in a bit of a bind."Da: Astrid forsøgte at forblive rolig.En: Astrid tried to stay calm.Da: ”Vi kan finde det sidste spor, mens vi venter på hjælp,” foreslog hun.En: "We can find the last clue while we wait for help," she suggested.Da: Bjarke krydsede armene.En: Bjarke crossed his arms.Da: ”Måske burde vi bare blive her?”En: "Maybe we should just stay put?"Da: Alligevel fortsatte de.En: Nevertheless, they continued.Da: Mikkel trak en dåse sodavand ud fra sin taske.En: Mikkel pulled a can of soda from his bag.Da: En lille forfriskning, mens de gik videre.En: A little refreshment as they moved on.Da: De snublede over fliserne, deres stemmer hørtes i de tomme haller.En: They stumbled over the tiles, their voices echoing in the empty halls.Da: Pludselig, da Astrid forsøgte at åbne en låst montre, bippede en stille alarm.En: Suddenly, as Astrid tried to open a locked display case, a silent alarm beeped.Da: De tre venner stivnede.En: The three friends froze.Da: Døre gik op, og en sikkerhedsvagt kom ind.En: Doors opened, and a security guard came in.Da: Han kiggede strengt på dem, men da han genkendte deres ansigter, begyndte han at grine stille for sig selv.En: He looked sternly at them, but when he recognized their faces, he began to chuckle quietly to himself.Da: ”Hej, børn. Hvad laver I her efter lukketid?” spurgte han.En: "Hey, kids. What are you doing here after closing time?" he asked.Da: Astrid begyndte at fortælle om skattejagten og is-præmien.En: Astrid began to explain about the treasure hunt and the ice cream prize.Da: Vagten rystede på hovedet, men med et smil.En: The guard shook his head but with a smile.Da: "Jeg kunne godt bruge en smule eventyr," sagde han og hjalp dem med det sidste spor.En: "I could use a bit of adventure," he said, and helped them with the last clue.Da: Ved hjælp af vagten fandt de hurtigt den endelige ledetråd.En: With the guard's assistance, they quickly found the final clue.Da: Det var et billede af en stor grønlandsk kampesten, museets stolthed.En: It was a picture of a large Greenlandic boulder, the pride of the museum.Da: Skatten blev fundet, og med det også vinderen af skattejagten.En: The treasure was found, and with it, the winner of the treasure hunt.Da: Som de blev gelejdet ud, tænkte Astrid dybt.En: As they were escorted out, Astrid thought deeply.Da: ”Måske har du ret, Bjarke. Nogle gange skal vi være forsigtige.En: "Maybe you're right, Bjarke. Sometimes we should be cautious.Da: Tak for at holde hovedet koldt.”En: Thanks for keeping a cool head."Da: Bjarke smilede, mens Mikkel afsluttede: ”Men lad os være ærlige.En: Bjarke smiled, while Mikkel concluded, "But let's be honest.Da: Ingen ville have klar is så let uden lidt ballade.”En: No one would've gotten ice cream so easily without a bit of mischief."Da: Alle tre grinede, mens de gik ud i den kølige forårsnat, på vej hjem mod en nat fuld af fortællinger og, snart, masser af is.En: All three laughed as they walked out into the chilly spring night, heading home to a night full of stories and, soon, plenty of ice cream.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Blending Traditions: Innovating Greenland's Spring Festival Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-04-16-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Freja stod på klippen og så ud over det glitrende hav.En: Freja stood on the cliff, looking out over the shimmering sea.Da: Isbjerge svømmede langsomt forbi i horisonten, mens solen kærtegnede deres runde sider.En: Icebergs drifted slowly by on the horizon, while the sun caressed their rounded sides.Da: Foråret var kommet til landsbyen ved Grønlands kyst, og Freja vidste, at det betød begyndelsen på den traditionelle inuittiske forårsfestival.En: Spring had come to the village on Greenland's coast, and Freja knew it marked the beginning of the traditional Inuit spring festival.Da: Men i år havde Freja en plan.En: But this year, Freja had a plan.Da: Hun ønskede at gøre festivalen mere spændende for de unge i landsbyen.En: She wanted to make the festival more exciting for the youth in the village.Da: Hun drømte om innovative aktiviteter, som kunne vække deres interesse.En: She dreamed of innovative activities that could spark their interest.Da: Freja vidste dog, at ikke alle var begejstrede for forandring, især de ældre i samfundet.En: However, Freja knew not everyone was excited about change, especially the elders in the community.Da: Mikkel fandt hende på klippen.En: Mikkel found her on the cliff.Da: Han var en stille fyr, lidt tøvende ved forandring, men han satte pris på Frejas venskab.En: He was a quiet guy, somewhat hesitant about change, but he valued Freja's friendship.Da: "Hvad tænker du på, Freja?"En: "What are you thinking about, Freja?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: "Festivalen," svarede Freja og vendte sig mod ham.En: "The festival," replied Freja, turning to him.Da: "Jeg vil tilføje nye aktiviteter.En: "I want to add new activities.Da: Noget som danser og musik fra andre kulturer."En: Things like dancing and music from other cultures."Da: Mikkel rynkede panden.En: Mikkel frowned.Da: "Tror du, de ældre vil gå med til det?"En: "Do you think the elders will agree to that?"Da: Freja trak på skuldrene.En: Freja shrugged.Da: "Jeg er nødt til at prøve.En: "I have to try.Da: Måske hvis jeg taler med dem, kan de forstå."En: Maybe if I talk to them, they can understand."Da: Dagen før festivalen samlede Freja mod til at gå til samlingen af landsbyens ældre.En: The day before the festival, Freja gathered the courage to approach the assembly of the village elders.Da: De sad i det varme samlingshus, mens ildens skær dansede over væggene.En: They sat in the warm gathering house, while the flickering of the fire danced across the walls.Da: Freja forklarede sine ideer, mens hun respektfuldt anerkendte vigtigheden af traditionen.En: Freja explained her ideas, while respectfully acknowledging the importance of tradition.Da: De ældre lyttede med ryggen ranke.En: The elders listened with their backs straight.Da: Efter en lang pause talte den ældste mand, Aputsiaq.En: After a long pause, the oldest man, Aputsiaq, spoke.Da: "Vi kan acceptere nogle af dine ideer, Freja, men vi må bevare nogle traditioner."En: "We can accept some of your ideas, Freja, but we must preserve some traditions."Da: Freja nikkede.En: Freja nodded.Da: "Tak, Aputsiaq.En: "Thank you, Aputsiaq.Da: Jeg vil sikre, at traditionen ikke går tabt."En: I will ensure that the tradition is not lost."Da: På festivaldagen var strandbredden fyldt med latter og musik.En: On the day of the festival, the beach was filled with laughter and music.Da: Bonfires knitrede, mens folk dansede i takt til både traditionel inuittisk musik og ny musik, som Freja havde foreslået.En: Bonfires crackled as people danced to both traditional Inuit music and the new music that Freja had suggested.Da: Mikkel stod ved siden af Freja og betragtede scenen.En: Mikkel stood next to Freja, watching the scene.Da: "Det ser ud til at virke, ikke?"En: "It seems to be working, doesn't it?"Da: sagde han med et smil.En: he said with a smile.Da: Freja lo.En: Freja laughed.Da: "Ja, det gør det.En: "Yes, it does.Da: Jeg tror, vi har fundet en balance."En: I think we've found a balance."Da: Som dagen gik på hæld, og solnedgangen farvede himlen i blå og orange nuancer, vidste Freja, at hun havde opnået det, hun ønskede.En: As the day drew to a close, and the sunset painted the sky in shades of blue and orange, Freja knew she had achieved what she wanted.Da: Hun havde fundet en måde at ære de gamle traditioner, mens hun bragte nye idéer til.En: She had found a way to honor the old traditions while bringing in new ideas.Da: Mikkel, der havde været skeptisk, pustede lettet ud og indså, at forandring ikke altid betød at give afkald på det gamle, men snarere at berige det med det nye.En: Mikkel, who had been skeptical, breathed a sigh of relief and realized that change does not always mean abandoning the old, but rather enriching it with the new.Da: Freja og Mikkel mærkede, at noget havde ændret sig.En: Freja and Mikkel felt that something had changed.Da: Det var begyndelsen på noget større, og de var nu klar til at udforske, hvad fremtiden kunne bringe til deres lille landsby.En: It was the beginning of something greater, and they were now ready to explore what the future could bring to their small village.

The work of Margaret Wickens Pearce (Citizen Potawatomi) as a cartographer does not separate Indigenous people, stories, culture, and memory from a place that she is mapping. She works with tribes, Native scientists, and culture keepers to bring forth map layers often overlooked by the mainstream. One of her recent projects, “The Cold at Inuit Nunangat”, maps the ways Inuit protect their homelands in northern Canada and how colonization interferes with that connection. Her current mapping project, “Mississippi Dialogues”, depicts the Mississippi River through the perspective of Indigenous people and their stewardship.

Bedtime History: Inspirational Stories for Kids and Families
Ada Blackjack was an Inuit woman who survived one of the most incredible Arctic adventures in history. In 1921, she joined an expedition traveling to a remote Arctic island. When the expedition went terribly wrong, Ada was left alone with a sick teammate in the harsh polar environment. Using courage and survival skills she learned growing up, she hunted, sewed clothing, and stayed alive for months until rescue arrived. Her story is one of bravery, resilience, and determination in one of the coldest places on Earth.
TRN Podcast Nick Estes live in conversation with Kim TallBear about the conference they organized, Holding Our Ground: Voices and Strategies Against Self-Indigenization. You can watch the individual panels that were livestreamed on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKWiQX270BMoLRv25dDskRfsJ2pptPf3Z Conference description: "This two-day, hybrid symposium will convene leading experts, community members, and "first responders" to the global issue of self-Indigenization, particularly in the form of "Indigenous ethnic fraud," or "pretendianism," as it is referred to in North America. The symposium will be held in Minneapolis, on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people, who were imprisoned and eventually exiled in 1863 to aid settler appropriation of "Minnesota," a word also taken from the Dakota. On top of seizing land, US citizens have for centuries "played Indian" via sports mascots and appropriating Native nation names and iconography in scouting and in industries including the military. In the twenty-first century, we see ballooning numbers of US citizens make mythological claims to belong to Native lineages and nations. Some capitalize on those claims to appropriate Indigenous resources and opportunities, and to seize governance of institutions. We see an obviously violent example of self-Indigenization in the Department of "Homeland Security" whose agents seize governance of these lands, terrorize, imprison, and threaten to exile. As multiple forms of self-Indigenization converge, not all are grasped as violent, yet they combine to further colonial extraction. Extractive self-Indigenization, including Indigenous ethnic fraud, not only targets American Indians, but also First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in Canada; and global Indigenous communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, and elsewhere. This symposium will bring participants together to engage in critical discussions, learn from one another, and discuss actionable strategies to disrupt this global problem."

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes Naja Lund Aparicio, author of the picture book Seasons by the Lake: Adventures in Greenland, for a rich conversation about childhood, culture, and the nation of Greenland, followed by a listen back to a chat with pastry chef and author Christina Tosi. Naja, a Greenlandic Inuit writer, shares how her book follows siblings Mimik and Nuka as they explore the changing seasons around a Greenlandic lake. She explains that many people think Greenland has only one season—winter—but her goal is to show the subtle but powerful shifts throughout the year and how kids play, gather, and live closely with nature in each one. Naja describes the Inuit worldview that everything—rivers, rocks, mountains—has a spirit and personhood, placing humans on the same level as nature rather than above it. This deep respect for land grew from the need to survive harsh climates, where reading the weather and seasonal signs was a matter of life and death. She also talks about Inuit migration from northern Alaska to Greenland, the ongoing importance of hunting and gathering, and shares a favorite myth about how the raven became black. Naja reflects on Greenlanders as peaceful, welcoming people and on the long-standing allyship between Greenland, Denmark, and the United States. She discusses her other Greenlandic-language books, current MFA work at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and upcoming picture books with Candlewick and Dial Books. In the final segment, Christina Tosi joins to celebrate her picture book Every Cake Has a Story and to talk about creativity, baking with kids, and embracing "failed" recipes as fuel for imagination and learning.
Born in Greenland, Aaju Peter did not begin to explore the breadth of her own Inuit culture until she moved to Nunavut, Canada. It was there that she got in touch with an internal drive to learn about and strengthen language, education, policy, and the arts toward improving Inuit representation on an international scale. That has resulted in a varied career as an activist, lawyer, clothing designer, and musician. Among her many accolades is the Order of Canada, awarded for her preservation and promotion of Inuit culture. Aaju Peter joins us as our Native in the Spotlight.
