Indigenous Languages Series: Michael Kusugak, Inuktitut Episode 2

Nangminiiqtunik tusaq’luni addresses the high suicide rate among Inuit youth and was written to speak to Inuit parents. It talks about what was expected of parents to raise our kids. Michael hopes to enlist the help of Inuit parents, grandparents, and those “grown-ups” responsible for youth welfare.

Michael Kusugak grew up in Repulse Bay, NWT (now Nunavut). During his childhood, his family travelled by dog sled, living a traditional Inuit lifestyle. He is also an author of twelve children's books.

The project is funded by the government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage and distributed with help from the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation and First Peoples Radio Inc.
