Ilinniq (Learning)

Ilinniq is a 13-part series targeted to a general adult audience. Political and social development in Nunavut has occurred at a rapid pace since Inuit leaders first gathered at Carleton University in the 1970s. In a relatively short period of time, Inuit have moved from outpost camps to organized communities. Many people from many different walks of life have experienced this dramatic change firsthand. This series takes a look at 13 people from politicians to elders to communicators and see how the political and social development shaped their lives.  This series provides an understanding as to why these people are seen as "celebrities" in Nunavut. Language: Inuktitut (English sub-titles).
