For Inuit, living on the land shaped traditional roles for men and women — roles that are in some ways changing and in some ways remain the same.

Welcome to Unipkausivut Our Stories, a podcast series produced by Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada. In this inaugural episode, we’re introducing the topics we’ll explore.

You'll hear, in their own words, insights from Inuit women across Inuit Nunangat on food security, the importance of traditional food, how traditional roles are changing, the impact of modern technology on traditional ways of life, and the roles of women and youth.

Guests (in order of appearance):

Debbie Gordon-Ruben

Crystal Lennie
