OUR NEW HOUSES: An Inuit Documentary
This program documents the move of the Inuit from tents and igloos to wood frame houses in the 1950's and the consequent implications of this rapid and dramatic cultural change for the Inuit people's health and well-being. It also records the experience of elders who made this transition before they passed away - a generation that is rapidly disappearing in the Inuit population. Through their words and eyes we learn about Inuit history and cultural experience, and gain insight into challenges of Inuit youth seeking their identity today, in a world changing rapidly again from the effects of global warming. *Closed Captioned
