Rebecca Iquollaq reflects on her life growing up in an Iglu on the land before houses or cellphones. She remembers the year 1966, when the RCMP shot all of her family's sled dogs, and they went hungry because they could no longer hunt for caribou. Today she looks back on a childhood on the land that was difficult yet enjoyable, in "the Inuit way".
In the winter of 2019, Reel Youth visited Gjoa Haven, NU and facilitated an intergenerational film program with local youth and Elders. Participants spent time together teaching, learning, and creating short films that celebrate the stories, wisdom, and characters of the Elders.
