How are we willing to change the way we work when we enter Inuit spaces? I’ve been thinking about this. Inuit have been adapting for generations; Adapt to English, Western education, government systems, professional expectations, polices, institutions and so on and so forth.

Reciprocity means that when external groups enter Inuit Nunangat, some of that adaptation should happen in the other direction too. Listen differently. Communicate differently. Build relationships differently. Recognize local knowledge. Make room for language.

I think cultural humility begins before you ever arrive in the community. I think it begins by asking: How are we willing to change the way we work when we enter Inuit spaces?

I find it romantic hearing the mumbling of a quieted bass-voice wistful and melodic in the room next door Giggles blanketed by midnight snow A conversation that isn’t mine Their February tune in that moon-lit kitchen

It’s #NativeFamilyFriday. I am going to make a thread below of Native families who are needing urgent support. We don’t need the shame or blame for doing everything our bodies and minds are able to, for our families to survive. Please contribute and share the responses.
