Complementary sides of the language and education equation in Nunavik will be the subject of this episode. At a Language Conference in Puvirnituq, we'll witness efforts to keep Inuktitut alive and up-to-date, largely through the knowledge and commitment of elders.  At the local school, we'll look in on efforts to keep the language current among the new generation of speakers, the children who, in effect, hold the future of the language in their hands.

The documentary series ‘Finding Our Talk’ celebrates the many Canadian and international individuals, communities and organizations that are reclaiming their Indigenous languages, culture, stories, and identity.
