In this episode of Mythlok, we journey to the icy expanse of the Arctic to explore the powerful and enigmatic figure of Akycha, the solar spirit of Inuit mythology. More than just a sun goddess, Akycha embodies the life-giving force of light, the balance between warmth and survival, and the ancient rhythm of the polar sky. Her story is one of motion and meaning—a spirit constantly pursued across the heavens, leaving behind day and night in her wake.Through rich oral traditions and lesser-known folktales, we uncover how Akycha once withdrew her light when humanity disrupted the balance of nature, teaching a harsh yet vital lesson about respect for the environment. She represents not only the dawn after darkness but also a powerful symbol of feminine leadership, resilience, and harmony in a land where survival is sacred.As we delve into her myth, we also reflect on what Akycha's wisdom means in the modern world—especially as the Arctic warms and traditional ways of life face increasing threats. This episode brings to life the enduring power of Inuit mythology and invites us to reconsider our own connection to the forces that govern our world. Join us in rediscovering Akycha, the spirit of light who still watches from the northern skies.

How did the Danish missionary Hans Egede combine capitalism and religion in his colonisation of Greenland in the 1700s? Why have we forgotten about Danish colonialism in India and Greenland? When did Greenlanders gain self-determination? Anita and William discuss how the Danes colonised Greenland in the 18th century, using a system not too dissimilar to the East India Company: royal monopolies and efforts to eradicate Indigenous culture. ----------------- Empire Club: Become a member of the Empire Club to receive early access to miniseries, ad-free listening, early access to live show tickets, bonus episodes, book discounts, our exclusive newsletter, and access to our members' chatroom on Discord!

Conoce la historia real del pueblo Inuit de Anjikuni donde desaparecieron los habitantes en una noche.
*Episode Disclaimer* This episode mentions suicide and discusses a journey to sobriety; the content may be triggering for some and listener discretion is advised. In this episode of the Matriarch Movement podcast, host Shayla Oulette Stonechild engages in a heartfelt conversation with Braden Kadlun, an Inuk content creator and advocate for Indigenous culture. They discuss Braden's journey of healing and sobriety, the importance of matriarchs in Indigenous communities, and the role of social media in amplifying Inuit voices. Braden shares insights on his experiences growing up in different regions, the challenges he faced, and his aspirations for the future of Inuit culture. He also talks about his book on sobriety and offers advice for those looking to learn more about Inuit culture and content creation. Chapters (00:00) Introduction to Braden's Journey (06:04) Healing Through Rehabilitation and Cultural Affirmation (11:58) The Impact of Social Media on Storytelling (17:51) Writing a Book on Sobriety (23:56) Inuit Futurism and Community Aspirations More About Braden Kadlun: Whether he's in front of the camera, spending time in his community, or speaking to an audience, Braden Kadlun strives to bring the power of storytelling to life – and to celebrate Inuit culture. Growing up between Nunavut, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories, Braden always remained immersed in his culture even as he encountered mental health and substance use challenges. In 2022 Braden decided to take an active role in this conversation on social media. He has since immersed himself in content creation by sharing language, traditional food, and his sobriety journey. In fall 2024, he published his first book, A Guide to Sobriety: 10 Gentle Reminders, where he shares how specific practices helped transform his own life, encouraging readers to explore what may work for them—whether from his experience or their own. Now a sought-after keynote speaker at various venues across Canada, Braden never misses an opportunity to share insights about the realities of Northern living, sobriety, healing, and Inuit culture. Braden's recent endeavors include winning the 2024 Indspire Inuit Youth of the Year award, facilitating workshops in community alongside his mother, Hovak Johnston, which highlight their respective healing journeys. He also co-produced and hosted Local Lives, a 2023 television series through StoryHive which provided an Indigenous lens on the experiences of Indigenous small business owners, Knowledge Keepers, artists, and activists in Treaty 6 and 7 Territories. Always learning, Braden is dedicated to creating positive change wherever he goes!

LOOK OUT - Goose crossing ahead! Not all take kindly to the following of directions. Communication takes practice. Patience is needed to get where you'd like to be. Last week was National Accessibility Week (beginning on the final Sunday of May) and this time on Outlook (where “accessibility” is a given) we discuss the unhelpful helpers, how we orient ourselves, plus goose crossings and fermented mushrooms. This first Mixed Bag of June we're talking what's in store for these warmer months ahead including Pride celebrations, as we examine our gratitude toward those, in other marginalised communities, who come before us in all this disability community's diverse group and anticipating a new show reboot of the animated King of the Hill with the importance of understanding modern relevance vs a snapshot from a previous generation. Also, we touch on and go over the eager waiting for this month's announced applications to open up to qualify for the new Canada Disability Benefit and speaking of federal government, with Canada's new federal cabinet (and Mark Carney at the helm) doing the “Cabinet Shuffle” by eliminating the Minister of Diversity, Inclusion, and Persons With Disabilities. Happy Indigenous History Month and Pride Month to our First Nations, Metis, and Inuit and 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and listeners - from May mixed bags to June, toward the strawberry moon, and celebrating kidney transplant anniversaries during this summer season.
The Kilaut, or Inuit drum, is bigger than many hand drums – but small enough to be wielded by its drum dancers. Rosanna heads to St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador to learn about a tradition that was almost lost due to colonial bans on cultural practices and expressions. She meets singers, drummers and dancers who are reclaiming and sharing this cherished Inuit tradition.
Kat takes us to a remote area of Canada to cover the legend of a small Inuit village vanishing without a trace. Then Hayley covers "The Greatest Beer Run Ever" during the Vietnam War as recounted by John "Chickie" Donohue. Still got a thirst for knowledge and parasaocial camaraderie? You're in luck!

Many indigenous students still struggle to get access to proper education even in these modern times. In Canada, registered charity Indspire is making a real difference by investing in the education of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. Sitting down with Douglas Nelson is their president and CEO Mike DeGagné who talks about their noble mission as the largest non-government funder of indigenous education in Canada. Mike talks about their efforts to vastly improve their reach and overcome their biggest financial barriers by partnering with the right organizations. He also discusses the importance of indigenizing universities, creating indigenous student centers, and boosting student's intellectual capacity for economic development and self-determination.

This week on APTN News InFocus we go to the High Arctic, where climate change, sovereignty and survival intersect. We're featuring the first episode of The Place That Thaws, a six-part podcast from APTN News and Danielle Paradis, recently nominated for a Canadian Association of Journalists award. Set in Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord, the series shares powerful stories from Inuit adapting to a warming world, where hunting seasons are shrinking and polar bears are staying ashore longer. With Arctic sovereignty back in the spotlight and wildfires sweeping the country, The Place That Thaws is more relevant than ever.

In this episode, Jennifer is joined by Natan Obed, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, for a wide-ranging conversation on Inuit self-determination, infrastructure, and Canada's future in the Arctic. Originally from Nunatsiavut, Obed has become one of the leading voices advocating for Inuit rights and equity within Canadian society. He shares his journey from studying at Tufts University to leading national efforts for policy change, and highlights the urgent need for infrastructure investments, from deep-water ports to clean energy projects. With a focus on practical solutions and long-term collaboration, he calls for Canada to move beyond symbolic gestures and into an era of respectful, results-driven partnership with Inuit communities.
About the Episode In this episode of United Way's Do Local Good podcast, Youth of the Year Yaël Witvoet takes the mic to share how one strong connection shaped her path and how she's paying it forward.

We honour and respect their contributions, which help guide our work to ensure no one in our community is left behind
Tonight, we'll read about igloos and other polar quarters, from the book Secrets of Polar Travel written by Robert E. Peary and published in 1917. Peary, a famed American Arctic explorer, led multiple expeditions to the far north and claimed to be the first person to reach the geographic North Pole. His writing blends technical insight with firsthand accounts of survival in extreme cold, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity required to build shelter in some of Earth's harshest climates. Although igloos, or snow shelters, are often associated with all Inuit, they were traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arctic and a part of Greenland. Other Inuit groups constructed more permanent dwellings from driftwood, whalebone, and hides, using snow as insulation rather than structural material. Snow works as an insulator because of the tiny air pockets trapped within it—an important fact when outside temperatures plunge to −45 °C (−49 °F), while inside a well-constructed igloo, body heat alone can raise the temperature to a surprisingly livable 16 °C (61 °F).

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez En un rincón remoto de la costa ártica, donde el hielo se extiende hasta el horizonte y el viento canta canciones antiguas entre los témpanos, una anciana inuit con su nieto, Kautaluk. El muchacho era huérfano: sus padres habían muerto en una tormenta de nieve, y desde entonces, solo el calor del cuerpo de su abuela lo protegía de las noches heladas.Vivían en un pequeño iglú, construido con esfuerzo y amor, pero sin pieles para abrigarse ni carne para alimentarse. A veces, los vecinos más compasivos les dejaban un trozo de grasa o un poco de pescado seco. Pero la mayoría del tiempo, Kautaluk y su abuela sobrevivían con lo que otros desechaban.Kautaluk era menudo, de mirada profunda y silenciosa. Algunos lo respetaban por su dignidad, pero muchos lo despreciaban por su debilidad. Los niños lo empujaban, los adultos lo ignoraban. A veces, cuando entraba en un iglú, alguien lo levantaba del suelo tirándole de la nariz, como si fuera un muñeco. El dolor físico era fuerte, pero el desprecio dolía más.Una noche, tras regresar con el rostro enrojecido por las lágrimas y el frío, Kautaluk se acurrucó junto a su abuela. El silencio era absoluto. Entonces, una luz suave llenó el iglú. Una figura alta, envuelta en pieles de luz, apareció ante él: el Gran Espíritu de la Tierra.—Kautaluk —dijo con voz como el crujido del hielo—, has soportado el dolor con humildad. Esta noche te doy un regalo: la fuerza de los glaciares, la voluntad del viento. Úsala con sabiduría.Y desapareció.Kautaluk no dijo nada. Esa misma noche, salió al exterior. El cielo estaba despejado, las estrellas titilaban como brasas. Caminó hasta donde yacían las piedras más grandes del campamento. Una a una, las levantó con facilidad y las arrojó contra los iglús de quienes lo habían humillado. Luego encontró un tronco gigantesco, arrastrado por el mar, y lo colocó frente a la entrada del iglú de su peor enemigo.Al amanecer, el poblado despertó en confusión. Nadie podía entender cómo habían llegado allí esas rocas y ese árbol. “¡Ningún ser humano podría haber hecho esto!”, murmuraban.Kautaluk solo observaba, en silencio.Días después, el Gran Espíritu volvió a visitarlo en sueños:—Pronto vendrá una osa blanca con sus dos crías. Sus pieles os darán calor.Y así fue. Una mañana, una osa y sus cachorros fueron avistados en el hielo. Los cazadores corrieron con sus lanzas. Kautaluk, con las botas de su abuela, los siguió. Pronto los adelantó. Los hombres se burlaban:—“¡Ese pobre huérfano! ¡Lo van a devorar!”Pero Kautaluk no se detuvo. Con una fuerza sobrehumana, agarró a los osos por las patas y los golpeó contra el hielo. Murieron al instante. Los cargó sobre sus hombros y los llevó al iglú de su abuela. Los cazadores, atónitos, lo siguieron.—Aquí hay comida para todos —dijo Kautaluk—, pero primero quitad las pieles. Mi abuela y yo haremos sacos de dormir.Los hombres obedecieron sin rechistar. Luego, Kautaluk repartió la carne entre todos. Por primera vez, fue invitado a cada iglú. Le ofrecieron los mejores trozos, pero él, con humildad, pidió solo los más duros, los que siempre había comido.Con el tiempo, Kautaluk deseó formar su propio hogar. Se enamoró de la hija de su peor perseguidor. Para asegurarse de que nadie volviera a humillarlo, hizo una última demostración de poder: colocó árboles gigantes contra los iglús de todos los que lo habían maltratado. Si se movían, serían aplastados.El miedo se apoderó del poblado. Pero Kautaluk, con calma, retiró los árboles uno por uno.—No quiero venganza —dijo—. Solo justicia.A los
The experiences of Inuit people and scientific data show the impacts of climate change and how it disproportionately affects Canada's Far North. Arctic sea ice is central to Inuit life – Labrador Inuit communities have more than four dozen Inuttitut terms for sea ice. And the weakening of the ice as a result of climate change poses a tangible threat: stifling access for remote fly-in communities, cutting off essential goods and endangering Inuit peoples' traditions, including hunting and fishing.Jenn Thornhill Verma, investigative journalist and Pulitzer Ocean Reporting Fellow, takes The Decibel to the northeastern Labrador Inuit community of Nunatsiavut. We hear from Inuk elders on how their communities are innovating and adapting new technology to fight climate change.This story was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's Ocean Reporting NetworkQuestions?

Well this episode is a ton of fun. We are joined by longtime friend of the Fam, Stand Up Comic and Dutch Uncle Dale Hilton. He requested we cover a topic called the Whisky Wars and it is a doozy. In 1973 Canada and Denmark were unable to agree as to which country owned the kidney-shaped nothing of an island called Hans Island. With neither side willing to set aside their claim to the island, this led to an interesting 'conflict' of a sort. Over the next several years, the countries would take turns visiting the island leaving their flag, a bottle of liquor and a sign. They went back and forth leaving liquor and flags in a passive agressive conflict that only ended when the nations divided the island down the middle. We also talk about times we (the adults, Arthur listens patiently) got drunk and what we used to get drunk on in the days before the interwebs. So join us for this ever so slightly not quite PG-13 episode of fun and frolic from the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Kanada liegt in Nordamerika, aber die Kanadier waren schon immer anders als ihre Nachbarn. Vor allem wollen sie nicht zum 51. Bundesstaat der USA werden. Seit Donald Trump diese Idee ins Spiel gebracht hat, ist ein neues Nationalbewusstsein aufgekeimt unter den Kanadiern. Dieser neue Patriotismus wirkt sich auch auf den Wahlkampf aus. Der Eishockey-Spruch “Elbows Up” ist zum Slogan der Nation geworden. Der aktuelle Premier Mark Carney hat früher auch Eishockey gespielt und sein kämpferisches Auftreten gegenüber Trump zahlt sich bisher aus in den Umfrageergebnissen seiner liberalen Partei. Sie liegt deutlich vor der lange Zeit führenden konservativen Opposition unter Pierre Poilievre. Wir wollen besser verstehen, wie Kanada tickt und was die Kanadier so anders macht. Deshalb sprechen wir mit dem Kanadisten Prof. Wolfgang Klooß, mit Stefan Rizor von der Deutsch-Kanadischen Gesellschaft, mit Alexandra Weipert, die nach Kanada ausgewandert ist und mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Prof. Oliver Schmidtke, der in Kanada lehrt. Podcast-Tipp: Bayern 2 radio wissen Nunavut heißt "unser Land" in der Sprache der Inuit; 1999 wurde das gleichnamige Territorium eingerichtet: Ein Gebiet sechsmal so groß wie Deutschland im äußersten Norden Kanadas und in direkter Nachbarschaft zu Grönland. Nur gut 40.000 Menschen leben dort in verstreuten Siedlungen und der Hauptstadt Iqaluit, knapp 31.000 von ihnen identifizieren sich als Inuit. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/radiowissen/nunavut-land-der-inuit/bayern-2/13172419/
In this episode of Story Time with Asha Teacher, journey into the icy waters of the Arctic with the ancient Inuit legend of Sedna, the powerful sea goddess.Once a young girl who lived with her father, Sedna's life took a tragic turn after she was tricked into marrying a mysterious stranger from the sea. When her father tried to rescue her, a terrifying storm struck their boat. In a moment of desperation, her father pushed her into the ocean—but Sedna's story didn't end there.From the depths of sorrow and betrayal, she rose as the ruler of the sea, her fingers transforming into whales, seals, and other ocean creatures. Today, Inuit people believe Sedna controls the marine animals and must be honored by hunters and shamans.Listen to the chilling yet beautiful tale of Sedna—a story of pain, power, and the spirit of the sea.
The new sitcom “North of North” follows a young Inuk mother named Siaja who's on a journey to reclaim her life while living in the fictional Arctic community of Ice Cove — a town where everybody knows your business. Co-creators Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril say they made the place up to represent all Inuit communities across the North. Back in January, they joined Tom Power to talk about shooting the series in Iqaluit (where they both live) and how they're changing the conversation around Inuit representation on-screen.

Is it too late to say sorry? Do apologies for medical harm actually create change? The Canadian Medical Association recently issued an apology to Indigenous Peoples for the harms inflicted upon them by the medical system, acknowledging a history of racism, neglect, and abuse. In this crucial episode, we delve into the significance of this apology and explore what true transformative medical justice must entail for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples in Canada. Our esteemed guest, Dr. Jamaica Cass, a First Nation physician, brings her invaluable perspective to this vital conversation. We discuss the limitations of apologies without concrete action and the urgent need for systemic change that respects and upholds Indigenous sovereignty within healthcare. Dr. Cass sheds light on the necessary steps to dismantle colonial structures in medicine, foster culturally safe practices, and ensure equitable access to care that is self-determined by Indigenous communities. Join The Gritty Nurses as we unpack what accountability looks like beyond words, and envision a future where Indigenous health and well-being are centered through the recognition of their inherent rights and sovereignty in healthcare delivery. More About Dr. Cass A member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Turtle Clan, Dr. Cass practices Indigenous Health as a primary care physician on-reserve at Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. In addition, as an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Queen's University, she currently supervises both undergraduate clerks and family medicine residents. Dr. Cass completed her family medicine residency at the University of Calgary, where she served on the Indigenous Health Working Group in the department of Family Medicine. Prior to her residency, Dr. Cass spent four years in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she completed her Medical Doctorate at Tulane University. With an extensive background in science, Dr. Cass earned her PhD from Queen's University in breast cancer molecular biology before pursuing a career in medicine. She was recognized with several institutional, national and international awards, including the American Association for Cancer Research MICR Scholar-in-Training Award, the Terry Fox Foundation Transdisciplinary Award and the Robert Sutherland Fellowship. While a student at Queen's, she was active in Indigenous mentorship and advocacy, serving on the Indigenous Council of Queen's University and the Native Students' Association, and mentoring Indigenous undergraduate students.

Die Debatte um Grönlands politische Zukunft nimmt an Schärfe zu: Während die USA erneut Interesse an der rohstoffreichen Insel zeigen, bekräftigt Dänemarks Ministerpräsidentin Mette Frederiksen die Eigenständigkeit Grönlands. Die Erinnerung der Inuit an die Folgen historischer Zwangsmaßnahmen ist unterdessen noch sehr wach.
Love What if love isn't just one thing—but many? This week, we take a 360° look at love through the lens of Scripture, culture, and eternity. Just like the Inuit people have dozens of nuanced words for snow—because it's essential to their survival—we explore how love needs nuance, too. From Greek definitions to God's divine dilemma in the garden, we peel back layers to ask: what kind of love are you really searching for? Not all love is the same, and not all love leads to healing. But the love that flows from God—sacrificial, defining, and fruit-bearing—changes everything. Don't settle for shallow love when you were made for something deeper. John 3:16 Discussion topics Read 1 John 4:7–21 together. What stands out to you most in this passage? How does John describe the connection between God and love? What does this passage reveal about how we should love others? Love as Fruit, Not Just a Feeling Galatians 5:22 says love is a fruit of the Spirit. What does that mean practically? How do we “grow” in love? What weeds (like bitterness or selfishness) do we need to pull? God's Dilemma in the Garden The sermon spoke about how God had to cover what He loved (man) with the blood of an innocent substitute. How does this deepen your understanding of the cross and God's love? Take Action: Who in your life needs to experience God's love through you this week? Is there someone to forgive, encourage, or invite to church? What's your next step? Have you and your group signed up to help serve at the Easter Egg Hunt? If not, please take time to open the app and sign up to serve to help build bridges to God in an easy and practical way. Question one.

Younger generations in Nunavut today are less likely to grow up immersed in Inuktut. At a language school in Iqaluit, Inuit adults who didn't grow up speaking Inuktut now have the chance to learn it as a second language at the Pirurvik Centre. By learning the words for kinship terminology, they're also discovering things about their families they never knew. *This episode is the first in a two-part series on language revitalization.
What can we Westerners learn about raising intrinsically happy, self-sufficient, and helpful children from the Maya of Mexico, the Inuit of the Arctic Circle and the Hadza of Tanzania? Well, it turns out, a lot!WEIRD cultures (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) have been making parenting unnecessarily more difficult than it was designed to be. From helicopter and free-range parenting, to distracting children instead of intentionally involving them in quotidian household responsibilities, we are unwittingly becoming the source of our modern-day parenting grievances.With the help of Michaeleen Doucleff, mother and New York Times best-selling author of one of our favorite reads, “Hunt Gather Parent,” we break down modern-day parenting myths and turn to our much wiser, indigenous peers for the practical tips we're all yearning for when we are in the trenches of motherhood.Resources: Buy "Hunt, Gather, Parent" from Michaeleen's website!Let Grow: Leading the Movement for Childhood IndependenceSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

In this special episode of the Reuters World News podcast, we visit Greenland – the Arctic island that usually flies under the radar. But since U.S. President Donald Trump recently revived his desire to buy, or take, the autonomous Danish territory, Greenland is taking center stage. His interest and growing Inuit pride have led some locals to view an upcoming vote as a historic chance to free Greenland from Danish influence. We talk to Denmark Senior Correspondent Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen and White House Reporter Trevor Hunnicutt about Greenland's strategic importance militarily and economically. Plus, as Greenlanders head to the polls, we take a look at the election that needs to thread a needle between Copenhagen and Washington DC. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here.

Episode 356: In this episode, we explore two enduring Canadian legends that have captivated imaginations for generations. Our journey begins with the Lost Lemon Mine, a tale from the Canadian Rockies dating back to 1870. Two prospectors, Frank Lemon and "Blackjack," allegedly discovered gold, but their expedition descended into a dark saga of murder, madness, and an alleged curse that has kept the mine's location hidden for over 150 years. We then venture to the frigid wilderness of Nunavut, where the mystery of the vanishing village at Angikuni Lake unfolds. In November 1930, fur trapper Joe Labelle reportedly discovered an abandoned Inuit settlement, sparking an investigation and endless speculation about the disappearance of an entire Inuit village. Join us as we delve into these fascinating Canadian mysteries, examining the evidence, historical context, and their lasting impact on the nation's folklore.

Episode 2892: The ketogenic diet has surged in popularity, but is it truly beneficial for everyone? Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the science behind ketosis, exploring its origins, potential benefits, and risks. He also discusses whether supplementing with ketones offers the same advantages as following a strict ketogenic diet, providing insights into the latest research on how genetics may play a role in the diet's effectiveness. Quotes to ponder: "Keto gained popularity not necessarily because of its effectiveness, but due to athlete and celebrity endorsements." "In the short term, the ketogenic diet appears to be relatively safe for otherwise healthy individuals, but switching from a standard diet can come with side effects." "Those with Inuit ancestry may have a special genetic adaptation that prevents their bodies from producing ketones, suggesting that not everyone is built for ketosis."
