r/nunavut

First of all, I'm sorry if my question sound really dumb, I'm from South and I know nothing about house building, it's a genuine question 😅.

Yesterday I was on YouTube and a documentary about Siberia just "pop" in my suggestion. I watch it and some images show a HUGE (and a little bit defreshed 😅) Soviet-era apartment complex, where many Russians still live today. The inside were dilapidated by some place, but globally, theses infrastructures were ok, I mean... To my sight. I know it's not the best of the best, but it's better than literally nothing between you and the snow.

After watching, I was thinking about the housing crisis in the North of Canada, and it make me sad, and I thought: "wait... Why not building big appartments complex? If the Soviets were able to build in Siberia in the permafrost, would it be possible here too?"

I'm aware that the "big appartments-complex" is faaaaaar from the traditional nomadic Inuk lifestyle, and of course I didn't want to see the government force another colonial way of life, but how the Canadian government didn't think of theses "blocks" of appartments if the Soviets could build it, to resolve the housing problem?

I'm very aware that this is not a simple yes or no situation, but I would like to understand 🙏

I’m a vegetarian who lives in British Columbia and I realized I’ve never spoken to a vegan of Nunavut. How’s the food and the fashion?

I have no issue with using animals to make clothing, as I do not support folks freezing to death but rather support being warm and comfy. But, I had a though…

What do folks who are vegan do up north? Is it cool cause your friend made you sealskin boots then used all the animal, or is it still not cool to wear animals?

Also, how’s the food? I feel fruits would be difficult to keep fresh, and lots of products I take advantage of would be too expensive to ship.

I always figured if I went north, I’d live off Yummy Shawarma, and do my best to force my lifelong vegetarian body to be able to process fish and mammals without illness.

One day in the future, astronauts may need to grow food on the moon.

Today, Nunavummiut need cheaper food from closer to home.

Hii i'm an iñupiaq (but dont speak iñupiatun) and im trying to create a word for inuit that doesnt cause confusion in inuit languages with just the word for "people"'

im thinking maybe something that would literally translate to "inuksuk people" or "those associated with inuksuit"

inuksuk with some sort of suffix indicating that

what do you think would be the best suffix to indicate that? (any dialect is welcome)

Are you ready to head back to Ice Cove? A fresh start is just the tip of the iceberg.

North of North Season 2 will premiere in Canada September 1st on APTN+ and September 8th on CBC Gem, CBC TV and APTN TV. Everywhere else in the world later this year on Netflix.

not from canada or inuit at all but i was wondering how common it is to meet an inuit individual who only speaks inuktitut in nunavut? i was wondering if it's as common as it is where i'm from (my family is nahua from veracruz) as there is a substantial amount of people who only speak nahuatl and no spanish

Rosalie DeMaio wants women to feel safe when travelling in Iqaluit.

That hasn’t always been her experience when taking a taxi.

The Inuit Circumpolar Council recently reaffirmed its campaign to create barrier-free travel for Inuit across their traditional homelands in the Arctic.
