    • Summary:Inuit piqqusingit is part documentary, part how-to, part real-life adventure. Each episode draws on the knowledge and experience of Elders as they lead trips on the land, retell stories and give demonstrations to young people. The Arctic landscape makes a dramatic backdrop for each program, whether it's a summer seal hunt by boat, dog training on the sea ice, or a young man's first polar bear hunt, or a hill-top demonstration of traditional medicines. In v.8: Traditional and modern music, traditional music and its influences on modern Nunavut musicians is explored. Elder throatsingers, drummers and performers describe the stories and traditions behind Inuit music and its importance in modern life.--Container.
