Adventures on Inuit Land

In this episode, we visit the community of Kuujjuaq during the Aqpik Jam Festival. Many activities center around the praised arpik, the cloudberry. This festival features outdoor games, feasts and a wide range of musical performances.

In this episode, we go to the most southern village in Nunavik, Kuujjuaraapik, during the Wildberry Festival. This festival features berry-picking contests with wild prizes as well as feasts and musical performances in the evenings.

After careful preparations, we are ready to traverse the rivers and lakes of the beautiful Limestone Falls. Our production team will have to be vigilant, especially when going through rapids, low tides and rough waters.

In the second part of our journey through Limestone Falls, we navigate rough waters and learn about the stories of its rivers and lakes. We must be careful – even anchoring a boat can be a challenge at times.

Kuujjuaq is a perfect place for snowshoeing. Some of us do it on a regular basis around town, but this time we will plan a day-long snowshoeing adventure. Are you in good enough shape to join?

We go to a lake near Kuujjuaq, Nunavik to meet Mark who is learning how to operate a dog team from his father, Charlie. Charlie is an experienced dog musher who has been on many mushing adventures.
