Interview with Imaruituq Taqtu
Even the hardiest of northern people need a little boost of extra warmth.
BRRR, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE clutches a fur blanket.
Perhaps to put around her shoulders on an extra blustery Arctic day.
Or, is she taking it to someone who needs it more than she does?
This Inuk woman is stoic.
Her life is full of challenges like an austere environment and few modern resources like a store to buy groceries.
A fur blanket is a small luxury.
But the Inuit have thrived in the Arctic for thousands of years.
Brrr knows how to manage Arctic Life.
An important life lesson for all of us.
