Voices of the Elders, Vision of the youth

In this powerful episode of The Arctic Edge, we sit with Inuit Elders whose wisdom, grace and resilience offer profound insight into the heart of Nunavut and its culture.  This episode is about listening. The Elders share deeply personal stories of loss, colonial trauma, and survival. They speak to how the erosion of language is more than the loss of words as the traditional language is a way of thinking, seeing, and relating to the world. We explore what it means to become an Elder, and how leadership in Inuit culture is not defined by a title or ambition, but by a life of service and commitment to community. True leadership, they remind us, is recognized—not declared. From reflections on legacy to hopes for future generations, their voices carry lessons that resonate far beyond the North. This is not just about the past, it’s also about what comes next.
