Geela Kumarluk, Inuk social worker and Inukjuak native opens up a line of dialogue with members of her community about the trauma experienced by her people at the hands of the Canadian government and, most importantly, about how to heal from it. The formal and informal interviews with the director and with Geela present a simultaneously intimate and outward-looking perspective of the village and the Inuit. As community members open up, winter morphs into spring, and the village booms with warmer weather activity, just as they prepare for a celebration of Inuit traditions that comes exactly one hundred years after the release of Flaherty’s film about Inuit in the region; “Nanoq of the North”.
