S10 E4: Voices of the North: Journey by Dog Sled
Emma and Aputik meet George and his incredible team of Canadian Inuit dogs. As George harnesses his dogs to the qimutsik (dog sled) and shouts commands in Inuktitut, Emma experiences the power, precision and beauty of one of the Arctic’s oldest traditions.
From learning the dogs’ language to discovering how they navigate blizzards and even take “beach vacations” in summer, Emma realizes these aren’t pets – they’re partners, vital to Inuit survival for thousands of years. With each glide across the snow, Emma feels the deep connection between people, dogs, and the land – and understands why keeping this tradition alive matters so much today.
Next episode: Emma’s adventure continues with an Arctic twist: a post office, a hunter, and an Inuit seamstress – and one unforgettable lesson about community.

S10 E3: Voices of the North: Nuka’s First Musk Ox
Emma and Aputik visit 10 year old Nuka at his home in Nunavik to hear the incredible story of his hunt. From spotting "furry rocks" on a distant mountainside (that turned out to be a 400kg muskox!) to navigating treacherous terrain by snowmobile, Nuka shares every detail of his first big hunt – including the moment he got nervous pulling the trigger.
But this episode isn't just about the hunt. Emma learns how Inuit families use every part of the animal – from vacuum-packing the meat to share with elders and relatives, to spinning the soft qiviut fur into luxurious warm clothing. And she learns about Nuka's favourite things about living in the north – including the wolves that visit his backyard!
Join Emma as she realizes that Inuit children learn survival skills and cultural knowledge that connect them deeply to the land – skills that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Next episode: Emma goes dog sledding! Learn about the ancient tradition of qimutsik (dog sleds) and discover how Inuit traveled across the Arctic long before snowmobiles.

Join Emma as she discovers that in the Arctic, a community feast isn't just about food – it's about sharing knowledge, taking care of elders, and keeping thousands-year-old traditions alive. Plus, get ready for ptarmigans (Arctic chickens!) and the amazing story of how communities ensure no one goes hungry.
