"Unikkaaqtuarniq" means Storytelling in the Inuktitut language, it has the power to connect the past with the present, teach lessons, impart values, heal, to explain the world and connect us to the universe through language and mythology. The stories in this program come from Indigenous peoples who have thrived in the arctic regions of the world for thousands of years, enduring the changing seasons of dark and light, of colonialism, of climate change.
This event is being held in partnership with Winterlude, the City of Ottawa, and SAW Video Media Art Centre. We would like to acknowledge that this event is taking place on the unceded, un-surrendered, and occupied land of the Algonquin Nation.
