Join Moderator Heather Igloliorte and speakers Christine Tootoo and Allison Akootchook Warden for a conversation about the question “How do we establish our identities as Inuit artists today in a time of cultural vitalization and healing?" Heather Campbell from the Inuit Art Foundation introduces the event.

The video series "Conversations" brings you into discussions with Indigenous peoples, providing information and insights on important subjects and issues, along with ideas and examples that can help prepare you for making choices about how to act with regard to Indigenous peoples and their heritage.

Our Inuit advisors for the project are:

• Kacey Purruq Qunmiġu Hopson, Indigenous Knowledge Advocate, First Alaskans Institute
• Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Artist
• Taqralik Partridge, Director, Nordic Lab at SAW
• Krista Ulujuk Zawadski, PhD Candidate, Carleton University

This event was made possible through generous support of the Inuit Art Foundation, supporters of the Arctic Studies Center in Alaska and the Recovering Voices Program at the National Museum of Natural History. (#arcticstudies)
