Description

Host: Myna Ishulutak - Myna grew up in an outpost camp outside of Pangnirtung. In this episode, we see Myna back in her home community with her family. We also learn a bit more about the community and life in “the old days” through a conversation Myna has with Jean Briggs, a woman Myna has always wanted to meet again. Briggs traveled to the Gjoa Haven and Pangnirtung areas in the late 1960s and early 1970s for two books she was working on. Jean Briggs still has many photographs from her time living with Myna’s family before she was even born. Today, Briggs is 91 years old and is eager to share these pictures and her stories with Myna. Themes: Outpost camp lifestyle. Locations: Pangnirtung, Nunavut and Newfoundland, Canada.
