Inuit Voices
Interviews, gatherings, and creative reflections that speak directly from Inuit experience – shared here for all to hear, read, and learn.
Why Inuit Voices?
Listen, Read, Feel
Oral history sits at the heart of Inuit culture. The Inuit Voices project records stories of creativity, migration, humour, and healing – then shares them through video, audio, and written transcripts so future generations can hear our people speak for themselves.
