Documentaire personnel de l'artiste Élisapie Isaac. En pleine immensité boréale, au bord de la mer Arctique, un village : Kangirsujuaq, au Nunavik. Ici, traditions et modernité se croisent quotidiennement. Les rires des enfants habitent joyeusement les rues, les jeunes carburent à la culture « du Sud », alors que les vieux tentent encore de se faire à leur étrange sédentarité. Dans cette toundra à couper le souffle, la jeune cinéaste originaire de Salluit, maintenant installée à Montréal, décide de plonger au cœur de ses origines.

Ethics and Religious Culture - Religious Diversity/Heritage Geography - Territory: Indigenous Indigenous Studies - Issues and Contemporary Challenges
This documentary is a way for young people to learn more about the diversity of First Nations and their lands. The story of this young Inuit woman and the testimonials from members of her community can lead students to ask questions about the challenges faced by Canada’s Aboriginal peoples, e.g.: What role does modernity play? What are they doing to preserve their heritage? The teacher can wind up the conversation by asking everyone to think about the importance of his or her own roots.
