How are we willing to change the way we work when we enter Inuit spaces? I’ve been thinking about this. Inuit have been adapting for generations; Adapt to English, Western education, government systems, professional expectations, polices, institutions and so on and so forth.

Some of which are necessary and understandable, and I’m not erasing that. To live, learn, work, and find our place within a broader world, many of us have learned to move between different systems…opening opportunities while also continually asking us to adjust along the way.

I find it romantic hearing the mumbling of a quieted bass-voice wistful and melodic in the room next door Giggles blanketed by midnight snow A conversation that isn’t mine Their February tune in that moon-lit kitchen

Unidentified man on the bay in Arctic Bay (Ikpiarjuk), Nunavut. From what I understand, he’s on a supply boat from RMS Nascopie. Approximately 1945.
