Inuit Cultural<br />
Awareness at John<br />
Abbott College<br />
Several of the students from Nunavik<br />
studying at John Abbott College in Montreal<br />
this spring made a winning presentation during<br />
the school's multi-cultural week. They<br />
won the prize for having the best display<br />
of the day on March 23rd.<br />
Kitty Gordon was the coordinator<br />
for the booth and also made bannock to<br />
serve visitors, along with such northern<br />
foods as caribou meat, shrimp, and charr.<br />
They served Nunavik herbal teas and spun<br />
Elisapie Issac's Juno Award winning album<br />
at the booth also. "We played Taima in the<br />
background so that people could hear a<br />
modern Inuit artist," said student Allison<br />
Flowers.<br />
Some of the students wore traditional<br />
Inuit clothing at the display, which also<br />
included posters made by KSB students<br />
depicting images of Nunavik, craft items,<br />
jewellery, the Inuktittut syllabics, and several<br />
soapstone carvings. Allison added, "<br />
People seemed interested in trying the foods<br />
being served. Some were weary, but others<br />
were really enthusiastic about eating exotic<br />
Inuit foods. It was a positive exercise in<br />
Inuit cultural awareness."<br />

Beatrice Deer's<br />
“Just Bea...”<br />
In May of 2004, Beatrice Deer<br />
of Quaqtaq took the stage<br />
to release her album, Just<br />
Bea. Consisting of folksy<br />
acoustic pop melodies written<br />
by her husband Charlie Keelan of<br />
Kangiqsualujjuaq, Beatrice's songs talk<br />
about the beauty of life in<br />
the North and also of simple<br />
but important things<br />
like family and friends. But<br />
mostly, the message conveyed<br />
is to just live life, to just<br />
be... Aired on TNI Radio and<br />
CBC North day in, day out, the<br />
full recording can be found in all<br />
Co-ops across Nunavik.<br />
