How is climate change reshaping life in Nunatsiavut? Join Veronica Flowers in the vibrant communities of Nunatsiavut, the self-governing Inuit region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This beautiful and remote area is home to a unique culture and way of life that has been sustained for generations. Learn how the Inuit way of life, or Inosivut, shapes everyday practices and fosters a strong sense of belonging. As the Sikummiut (“people of the ice”) adapt to changing landscapes, they share their deep connections to the land and their commitment to preserving their culture. Meet local experts and researchers as you explore the diverse ecosystems of Nunatsiavut, where Traditional Knowledge blends with cutting-edge science. Discover how climate change is affecting the communities and wildlife, including cod, seals, and seabirds.
