Nipatur̂uq #1

Nipatur̂uq means “having a loud voice” in Uummarmiutun. We named our publication this because it is a place where every Inuvialuit youth’s opinions are heard, and where Inuvialuit can express and share their culture. It is about both traditional and modern culture. We are interested in how opinions and thoughts change and differ, amongst the voices of Elders and youth. We created Nipatur̂uq because we want people to be able to read this and learn from it. We want this publication to be useful for those who want to see how much our culture means to us, the youth, and how beautiful it is. This first issue is about our trip to Imniarvik (Sheep Creek) with the Inuvialuit Living History Project in July 2019. Nipatur̂uq wants to make sure that every person’s voice can be heard!
