August 6, 2020 <\/strong>\u2013 Anchorage, Alaska \u2013 The Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) will launch a new podcast on August 9th \u2013 the International Day of the World\u2019s Indigenous Peoples. It also coincides with the 40th anniversary of our 1980 ICC General Assembly in Nuuk, Greenland where the first ICC Charter and Bylaws were adopted. The new podcast is called \u1405\u14c2\u1483\u1473\u1466 \/ UNIKKAAT \/ UNIPKAAT \/ UNGIPAGHAT \/ NALLUNAIRUTET<\/strong> which translates to \u201cstories, reports, and testimonials\u201d in the Inuit language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms represent different dialects across Inuit Nunaat. From Inuktitut in Canada - \u1405\u14c2\u1483\u1473\u1466, Kalaallisut in Greenland \u2013 Unikkaat, Inupiaq in Alaska \u2013 Unipkaat, in Central Alaskan Yupik, the term is Nallunairutet, and Siberian Yupik in Chukotka - Ungipaghat. In English we are calling it \u201cCircumpolar Waves\u201d to reflect the power and reach of waves, whether this be in ocean waves, brain waves, audio waves, or air waves, spanning across the circumpolar region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur podcasts will bring you stories, testimonials, and reports from our four countries and beyond,\u201d says ICC Chair Dalee Sambo Dorough. \u201cIn our own voice we will be sharing what ICC has been doing since our founding in the mid-1970s, and how we are tackling current issues and Inuit priorities, as outlined in documents such as the Utqia\u0121vik Declaration <\/em>passed at our 2018 General Assembly held here in Alaska. This is an exciting, new initiative for ICC and we hope that Inuit throughout Inuit Nunaat as well as others across the globe will tune in.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first episodes of the ICC podcast will feature interviews with ICC Chair Dalee Sambo Dorough, ICC Canada President Monica Ell-Kanayuk, ICC Canada Vice-President (International) Lisa Koperqualuk, and Chair of ICC\u2019s Circumpolar Inuit Health Steering Committee (CIHSC) Minnie Grey. It\u2019s hosted on Buzzsprout here: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gwLV9w<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, more than ever, we need to be using innovative and creative virtual ways of communicating with one another,\u201d says ICC Canada President Monica Ell-Kanayuk. \u201cWhile creating a podcast series has been on our minds for some time, it seems especially fitting to launch this on the first International Day of the World\u2019s Indigenous Peoples to take place during a pandemic when we are limited in seeing one another face to face. Despite tough times over the past several months, we are proud to have developed this ourselves, focusing on telling our own stories through our own voices. Some of us have radio backgrounds, so that helped too.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The podcast will feature original music composed by Inuit artists. The first episodes will showcase Nunavut throat boxing artist Nelson Tagoona from Baker Lake. ICC intends to continue reaching out to other Inuit artists across Inuit Nunaat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
