William Huffman discusses his recent trip to Asia and the impact of Kinngait art on the global stage “Inuit artists have always been observational. They’ve always documented the land, and it’s not necessarily because they want to talk about climate change — they document it because it’s what they do. They’re communicating to the audience what is going on in their environment. “But what we’re finding 65 years later is we can look through our archives of drawings and prints and pick key moments where things were happening scientifically as observed by the artist. It’s kind of...…William Huffman discusses his recent trip to Asia and the impact of Kinngait art on the global stage “Inuit artists have always been observational.

The other day I was on the internet and an article caught my eye and piqued my curiosity. It was about what you should and shouldn’t donate to food banks. It claimed that the number one item you shouldn’t donate was Kraft Dinner. Say what!? What is wrong with Kraft Dinner? I have been eating it occasionally all my life. Also, it was recently on sale at a grocery store at $10 a box of 12 packages. I bought one for myself and one which I donated to the food bank. It certainly seemed like a good deal and a much better price than buying the boxed individually. The article went on to...… The other day I was on the internet and an article caught my eye and piqued my curiosity. It was about what you should and shouldn’t donate to food banks.

The Aniirajak Ski and Adventure Club was happy to host Quebec visitors for racing and fun It was recently the Aniirajak Ski and Adventure Club’s turn to host what will hopefully be the first of many exchanges in Iqaluit with their Gatineau Ski Club counterpart. Perfect skiing conditions on April 20 saw the junior members from both clubs competing for fun in a sprint race at the ski can during the Quebec club’s six-day stay. “[Going] around just on the tundra for us is special,” said visiting parent, chaperone and adult ski club member Guillaume Goulet, who was busy making a fire in...…The Aniirajak Ski and Adventure Club was happy to host Quebec visitors for racing and fun It was recently the Aniirajak Ski and Adventure Club’s turn to host what will hopefully be the first of many exchanges in Iqaluit with their Gatineau Ski Club counterpart.

All in all, it’s been a pretty impressive run for a team motivator. Patrick Tagoona coached the Karetakers to victory in the ‘A’ Division of the Terence Tootoo Memorial in Rankin Inlet and the Rankin Falcons to top spot in the 2024 North American First Nations Tournament of Champions A-side in Kenora, Ont.

Pakallak Tyme is underway in Rankin Inlet, even if Mother Nature doesn’t seem to be in the best of moods for fun and games. And while Pakallak Tyme remains, for the most part, a hit with the community, some folks see room for improvement. Inukpaujaq Ayaruak’s favourite part of the spring carnival is watching the square dance competition. Ayaruak said it’s hard to complain about the games and activities when it seems to be the same volunteers every year. She said if people want change, they should volunteer their time or just sit back and appreciate what’s being done during the...… Pakallak Tyme is underway in Rankin Inlet, even if Mother Nature doesn’t seem to be in the best of moods for fun and games.
