Athletes in Nunavik are getting some encouragement from Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes. The champion speed skater and cyclist travelled to several Northern cities during her 'Big Ride' for Mental Health in 2014 - including Kuujjuaq. This week, she sent a video to all the athletes representing Nunavik in this year's Arctic Winter Games in Nuuk, Greenland. Take a look! (Submitted by Team Nunavik-Québec) | CBC Nunavut

Canadian Culture: #40. Nunavut Inuit Throat Singing 🎶 Ever heard music made with two voices at once—without instruments? Welcome to Inuit throat singing! In the Arctic territory of Nunavut, Inuit women perform a centuries-old musical tradition called katajjaq, or throat singing. Two singers stand face-to-face, exchanging rhythmic breaths and deep, resonant sounds that mimic nature—like the wind, waves, or animals. Test time: Nunavut became Canada’s newest territory in what year? A) 1982 ❄️ B) 1

Culture is everywhere at the AWG! This is a pop-up performance of throat singing and drum dancing. The cultural delegation from Nunavut is shining bright and bringing joy to the games. They will be performing throughout the week. Video: Natalie Pressman/CBC | CBC North
