First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples have a long history of military service to this country. Though every major conflict -- and in times of peace. From before Canada was even a country, up to the present day. Their contributions are being honoured across the country today - as part of Indigenous Veterans Day.Also: Canadians so far are dodging the worst of American flight cancellations brought on by a U.S. government shut down that shows no signs of ending. But hundreds of flights are still being cancelled or delayed for many Americans - as the busiest travel holiday of the year looms.And: It's far from the bright lights of the NHL. But for fans of the Northern Premier Hockey League, it might be even better. Putting up high quality games and fierce local rivalries in some of Ontario and Quebec's smallest hockey towns. We'll take you to Lindsay, Ontario for one of them.Plus: Microplastics in Nova Scotia lobsters, the CFL's financial woes, and more.

On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens breaks down what Budget 2025 means for First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Prime Minister Mark Carney has called it a "generational budget" – a bold, nearly $90-billion in new spending plan he says charts a new path forward for Canada. But what makes this budget bold? And who does it leave behind? Joining the show is Nation to Nation host and APTN's online correspondent in Ottawa Karyn Pugliese with analysis of the 493-page document and what it signals for Indigenous communities. Also on the show, Lisa Gue from the David Suzuki Foundation weighs in on the budget's climate commitments and whether they live up to Carney's environmental promises. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

8. Greenland's Final Days: The Mystery of Herjolfsnes and the Fifteenth-Century End Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age The final chapter focuses on the end of Norse settlement in Greenland, begun by Eric the Red around 985 AD. Herjolfsnes, one of the last settlements, preserved the clothes and bodies of the final generations in its graveyard, dating into the early fifteenth century. The garments were patched, coarse woolen pieces reflecting the declining status and isolation caused partly by climate change. One woman's dress tore when she was buried—a poignant detail. The Norse interacted with the Inuit, who may have carved figures depicting Norse dress. The final reports include a man burned for seducing a married woman through witchcraft in 1407 and a wedding in 1408. The ultimate fate of the last few inhabitants remains an unsolved mystery. 1949

Emma and Aputik meet George and his incredible team of Canadian Inuit dogs. As George harnesses his dogs to the qimutsik (dog sled) and shouts commands in Inuktitut, Emma experiences the power, precision and beauty of one of the Arctic's oldest traditions. From learning the dogs' language to discovering how they navigate blizzards and even take “beach vacations” in summer, Emma realizes these aren't pets – they're partners, vital to Inuit survival for thousands of years. With each glide across the snow, Emma feels the deep connection between people, dogs, and the land – and understands why keeping this tradition alive matters so much today. Next episode: Emma's adventure continues with an Arctic twist: a post office, a hunter, and an Inuit seamstress – and one unforgettable lesson about community.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host Katherine LaGrave sits down with journalist Chloe Berge, who spent 13 days paddling 80 miles down Canada's Firth River—one of the country's oldest and most northern rivers—before reaching the Arctic Ocean. This epic journey through Ivvavik National Park combines adventure, science, and deep cultural history in one of the most remote regions on Earth. Chloe shares her experience navigating Class IV rapids, disconnecting completely from the digital world, and standing in ancient Inuit hunting grounds that have been used for thousands of years. She reveals why this unique expedition—which hosts only about 100 visitors annually—serves as the sole opportunity for Parks Canada scientists to collect critical environmental data in this pristine wilderness. On this episode you'll learn: Why Canadian River Expeditions' partnership with Parks Canada makes this the only annual scientific data collection opportunity in the region How two weeks completely off-grid changes your relationship with time and the natural world What makes the Engigstciak mountain one of the most important archaeological sites in Arctic Canada Why the region's unglaciated history during the last ice age created such unique geological formations How paddling expectations versus reality shaped the physical demands of the journey Don't miss these moments: [04:00] Chloe's previous Arctic experiences and what drew her to this inland expedition [06:00] Standing at Engigstciak—an ancient hunting lookout used for thousands of years [08:00] Finding the rhythm of the river and how time becomes less linear in the wilderness [10:00] The immediate sense of remoteness when dropped by bush plane 200 miles from civilization [13:00] The geological wonders that didn't make the story—from glittering quartz pillars to sandstone archways [15:00] Surprising truths about the paddling requirements and physical demands [19:00] The profound mental clarity that comes from two weeks without digital connection Resources Read Chloe's complete Afar feature about paddling the Firth River to the Arctic Ocean Learn more about Canadian River Expeditions and their science-focused Arctic trips Explore Ivvavik National Park and its rich Inuit cultural heritage Follow Chloe Berge for more stories at the intersection of travel, environment, and culture Stay Connected Sign up for our podcast newsletter, Behind the Mic, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.

Marineland beluga whales remain at the center of a heated national debate after Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans denied the park's request to export 30 whales to a marine theme park in China. In this episode, Andrew Lewin explores the unfolding crisis, from the park's claims of financial hardship to the legal, ethical, and political questions surrounding the whales' future. Marineland beluga whales could face an uncertain fate as the park warns it may not be able to care for them, raising the specter of euthanasia. Andrew breaks down government responses, animal welfare group actions, and emerging relocation proposals including the Nova Scotia Whale Sanctuary Project and Inuit-led plans. This episode unpacks the clash between law, profit, and responsibility while asking the essential question: who should ensure the whales' welfare?

Emma and Aputik visit 10 year old Nuka at his home in Nunavik to hear the incredible story of his hunt. From spotting "furry rocks" on a distant mountainside (that turned out to be a 400kg muskox!) to navigating treacherous terrain by snowmobile, Nuka shares every detail of his first big hunt – including the moment he got nervous pulling the trigger. But this episode isn't just about the hunt. Emma learns how Inuit families use every part of the animal – from vacuum-packing the meat to share with elders and relatives, to spinning the soft qiviut fur into luxurious warm clothing. And she learns about Nuka's favourite things about living in the north – including the wolves that visit his backyard! Join Emma as she realizes that Inuit children learn survival skills and cultural knowledge that connect them deeply to the land – skills that have been passed down for thousands of years. Next episode: Emma goes dog sledding! Learn about the ancient tradition of qimutsik (dog sleds) and discover how Inuit traveled across the Arctic long before snowmobiles.

In this episode, Stephanie talks with Willow Allen, a model, mother, and social work student whose story goes from her childhood in Inuvik, Northwest Territories to international magazine covers. Willow shares about life in the Arctic, cultural representation in modeling, and the realities of grocery prices and winters up north. She opens up about her path into modeling, her work in social media, and the role of family and community in shaping her identity. Willow also reflects on becoming a mother, balancing career and studies, and the responsibility she feels to pass down her Inuit culture. Together, they explore ambition, mental health, and what it means to create space for women to pursue their dreams while staying true to themselves.Willow Allen grew up in Inuvik, NWT, a small Arctic community where locals experience an average of 30 days of polar night every winter. “I was raised in both worlds,” says the 23-year-old Inuvialuk model. “I learned to live off the land at my family's bush camp, hunting and trapping the way my ancestors did and being told traditional stories by my parents, and attended school and university in Saskatchewan.” While initially her goal was to follow in her mother's footsteps and go into social work, Allen was launched into an unexpected modelling career after being spotted by an agency on social media a couple of years ago.“It has been so empowering to represent the beauty and culture of my people,” she says. “[With] this platform, I'm hoping to inspire younger generations and raise awareness about the issues that Indigenous peoples face.” One of these issues is the intergenerational trauma that's a result of residential schools; it's what prompted Allen's dream to work in mental health in her community of just under 3,400. “We will not forget the children who never made it back home, the survivors and their descendants who are hurting or the attempts to erase Indigenous culture in the name of assimilation.”For Allen, there's still a long way to go on the path to reconciliation. “Having a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a start,” she says. “Beginning to search residential-school sites for unmarked graves is a start. Acknowledging that Indigenous women and girls are missing is a start. Canada is just starting.” Proudly embracing Inuit culture is Allen's way of calling for more significant change, which will lend to the healing of her people. “I will never change myself or my image because I know my strength comes from my identity as an Inuvialuk woman,” she says. “Wear your traditional dress with pride, learn your language and speak to your elders. We are strong, we are resilient and we are Indigenous.”Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatRecommend guests: https://www.womendontdothat.com/How to find WOMENdontDOthat:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothatBlog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blogPodcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcastNewsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.comYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthatHow to find Stephanie Mitton:Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMittonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/beaconnorthstrategies.comTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmittonInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/Interested in sponsorship?

HEADLINE: L'Anse aux Meadows, Conflict, and Freydís BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The site of L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland provides definitive archaeological proof of Norse presence in North America, with dendrochronological research confirming wood was cut in 1021. This site, however, was a short-lived, primarily male base camp for logistical support and exploration, not Vinland. Artifacts like butternut suggest the Norse sailed further south than Newfoundland, searching for elusive Vinland. Interactions with indigenous peoples (Skraelings) were complex, involving trade (evidenced by Norse items on proto-Inuit sites) and escalating conflict, often started by the Norse themselves. Freydís, Erik the Red's daughter, is portrayed in the sagas as a homicidal figure who killed women with an axe. 1906 ONLY HORSE UN GREENLAND
Tackling something entirely new for Filmjitsu, Mike slaps Jay with the huge cinematic tortilla that is the 2019 documentary/mockumentary Wrinkles the Clown. And Jay, mouth full of water and brain full of contempt, does his best to keep himself together while discussing clown fear, parenting and Inuit folktales. This is a weird one for sure, but the guys return to their usual shenanigans while counting down their Bottom Five Punishments, a collection of bizarre, frequently upsetting, and often cruel diegetic disciplines that include being slapped with a VHS tape, cursed with inexplicable paralyzation and forced to eat... chocolate cake? If that's not enough, during a raucous round of Dueling Double Bills, Mike and Jay pay their respects to Robert Redford while pairing some of his movies with the likes of... Shakes the Clown. It's clowns and punishment this week, a three-ring cinema side-show served-up with a side of Greek auteurism and the discovery of a 1981 nexus of talent! Step right up, folks—because this episode again proves the harshest punishment is usually just hitting ‘play.'
After learning about hunting from Lukasi, Emma joins Aputik at a traditional community feast in Kuujjuaq's theater – and discovers that Inuit food culture is unlike anything she's ever experienced! From raw frozen caribou (yes, really!) to whale skin cut with traditional ulu knives, Emma explores the incredible variety of “country food” that hunters provide for their community. She also meets Allen, a knowledgeable hunter who explains the dramatic boom-and-bust cycles of caribou populations. Join Emma as she discovers that in the Arctic, a community feast isn't just about food – it's about sharing knowledge, taking care of elders, and keeping thousands-year-old traditions alive. Plus, get ready for ptarmigans (Arctic chickens!) and the amazing story of how communities ensure no one goes hungry.

Misery is manufactured and dark forces continue to profit from it. But our light does not die. Let's root ourselves in truth. It will always outlast the empire of lies. The kingdom of God is not confusion, but clarity. In Syria, a one time terrorist is now a statesman. When governments play with human lives. The Spiral Case. Inuit population control from Denmark in the 90's. Implants for twelve year olds. Zero informed consent. Considered too stupid. Compensation is in process. Implementing the eugenics book. Add an extra zero to the numbers. Trump is pressuring them. Child health care at it's worst. Scary similarities to the Covid policies. It's almost like colonialism. Oh, and we funded Smartmatic in Venezuela. A history of USA overthrow policy. Are there voices bold enough to speak out? A historical Syrian speech at the UN. Operation Cyclone is the precedent. It was dripping everywhere with everything. Israel has other plans. It's not just Gaza. Iran nukes are now in play. The status of our assets is constantly changing. Ireland is in the censorship news. Sometimes in intelligence, the environment is the message. Always take the high level and skeptical view. Those skills will serve us all very well in the future.
This week at the United Nations General Assembly, Syria's new interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa came with a message: Syria is back after being isolated for about six decades. Also, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit the country's first national emissions reduction targets. It marks a shift in China's approach to climate policy, which, until now, allowed emissions to grow in tandem with economic growth. And, Denmark issued a formal apology yesterday for forcing Indigenous women and girls from Greenland to use contraceptive devices. Beginning in the 1960s, Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and school-age girls, often without their or their parents' knowledge or consent. Plus, climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food. Chef Fatmata Binta sees a solution in fonio, a grain similar to couscous, indigenous to West Africa.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

But when she discovers that Inuit people hunt the geese she just traveled 8,000 kilometres to protect, Emma is shocked and confused. How can hunting animals be okay when her mission is to protect them? With the help of her new friend Aputik, Emma visits a traditional hunting camp to meet Lukasi, who teaches her that Inuit hunting is nothing like she expected. From using every part of the animal to sharing country food with elders and the community, Emma discovers a completely different way of understanding conservation – one that's thousands of years old. Plus, hold onto your seats when Lukasi shares his heart-pounding story of coming face-to-face with a wolf!
If Donald Trump is a broken clock only right twice daily, then one of those truths might be US policy toward Greenland. According to the Australian based geo-strategist Elizabeth Buchanan, Trump is correct to be preoccupied with American influence over, and perhaps even ownership of Greenland. In her new book, So You Want To Own Greenland, Buchanan argues that the 57,000-person continental super-sized island is becoming central to 21st Century geopolitics. From the Vikings to the (yes) colonizing Danes, she argues, Greenland has always been an important piece of the North Atlantic strategic jigsaw. Today, however, with the melting polar ice cap and its vast mineral resources, Greenland is becoming essential - not just to native Greenlanders, the United States, Denmark and Canada, but also to Russia, China and even India. 1. America's Greenland Interest Predates Trump by 160 Years US interest in Greenland dates back to 1867 and the Seward Purchase ("Seward's Folly"). Trump's fixation isn't erratic - it reflects longstanding American strategic thinking about North American geography that transcends partisan politics.2. Denmark is a Colonial Power, Not a Progressive Beacon Contrary to its reputation for happiness and human rights, Denmark runs Greenland as a modern colony. This includes a forced contraception program targeting 12-13 year old Inuit girls and economic control where 50%+ of working-age Greenlanders work for the government.3. Climate Change is Creating the "New Panama Canal" The melting Arctic ice cap is opening new shipping routes between Europe and Asia through the North. Any cargo passing this route must go through Greenlandic/Danish waters, making Greenland a critical chokepoint for 21st-century global trade.4. Greenland Wants Independence, But Denmark Won't Let Go Greenlanders voted for independence in a referendum, but Danish law requires the Danish Parliament to approve any independence - a catch-22. Without Greenland (and the Faroe Islands), Denmark ceases to be a "kingdom" and becomes just Denmark.5. China and India Are the Real Wild Cards While focus remains on US-Denmark tensions, China and India are rapidly expanding their Arctic presence through "research" missions and shipping investments. For every American business jet landing in Greenland, there are Chinese and Indian interests as well.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Episode 210 of The Adventure Podcast features polar guide, explorer, and adventurer Sarah McNair-Landry. Growing up in Iqaluit on Baffin Island with parents who pioneered polar guiding, Sarah's childhood was shaped by dog sledding, camping, and life in the Arctic wilderness. In this episode, Matt and Sarah explore her journey from early expeditions to guiding at the North and South Poles, the unique challenges of dog sledding and kite skiing, and how she and her partner Boomer combine kayaking, climbing, and polar travel into bold multi-sport expeditions. They touch on themes of resilience, heritage, adventure for adventure's sake, and the delicate balance between tourism, culture, and conservation in the North. Sarah reflects on recreating her parents' legendary circumnavigation of Baffin Island, how growing up in an Inuit community shaped her, and why, despite the hardships, she continues to push further into remote landscapes. This is a story of family legacy, human endurance, and finding joy in the harshest environments on Earth. It's an episode that will make you want to pack your sled and chase the wind.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

In this episode, Dr. Mike T. Nelson pulls back the curtain on some common keto myths, including how it's connected to fat loss, athletic performance, and even ancestral eating patterns. You might be surprised to learn that smart athletes will do anything to win—except go keto. In this myth-busting conversation, you'll discover why the high-fat-eating Inuit peoples probably weren't in ketosis, how keto can slash your power output by up to 8%, and why metabolic flexibility—not extreme diets—is the real key to optimal health. After 20-plus years in the field, Dr. Nelson shares his unfiltered take on everything from exogenous ketones to the carbohydrate hypothesis of obesity, delivering the nuanced truth that diet influencers won't tell you.

The prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market draws over 1,000 Indigenous artists from more than 200 tribal nations each year, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists from Canada. But this year, economic policies from the Trump administration have complicated things for those traveling from north of the border. We'll chat with a few artists. Also on the show: India and China will restart direct flights, and mortgage rates dip, but not enough to boost demand.

In the 1930s, in Northern Canada, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle stumbled upon a small Inuit village that had been recently deserted. Many wondered what drove the villagers out so quickly, as weapons and clothing were left behind, dogs were left to starve, and a grave had been dug up, inexplicably. Some say that strange lights seen over the region during the time of the disappearance may be the biggest clue of all.

Mike Keen came up with the idea of a kayak expedition off the coast of Greenland before he had any clue about how transformative it would be for his life and health and worldview! Today, he dives into what went down—what it was like eating the traditional Inuit diet (including fermented seal!), how his body responded to the kayaking and change in diet, and insights gathered by the microbiologists examining his stool samples (yes, his poop). Now, he has planned to explore more remote places and to continue diving into traditional diets to see how his body responds. A former chef, Mike now admits that he learned more from this experience kayaking around Greenland than from the many decades prior, when he was purchasing and preparing overly processed foods.
