Singing in Inuktitut, Pond Inlet

(I’ve joined 100 passengers on board a small cruise ship to explore the Eastern coast of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. Join me as I see wildlife, phenomenal landscapes and meet friendly locals with Adventure Canada.)

I’ve mentioned a few times that all of us on the cruise learned two songs in Inuktitut, taught by culturalist Aaju Peter. I caught one of our “performances” on video in Pond Inlet, headed by Aaju and fantastic Canadian musician Barney Bentall. The Inuit locals are on stage singing along as well!

I’ve been humming the song in my head ever since, bringing back all those fond memories.
