I am very grateful and honoured that @inuittapiriitkanatami President Natan Obed introduced me. Nakummek, thank you for sharing the stage with me and bringing my song to life, @rob_power_percussion and pianist @cam.geli'Anânak silatsualimâk'lyrics & vocal melody by Deantha Edmunds Inuttitut interpretation & translation by Sophie TuglavinaCo-composed by Leslee Heys Here is the English translation:The cold is our life force.Sea ice connects us.The Earth, our Mother.Water, her life blood.She is alive. Hear her cries.We breathe as one.We speak the same language.We need to listen and respond,Not only with words, but with action,With hope, strength and love.The future we will birth together.She is alive. Hear her cries.We breathe as one.We speak the same language.Mother tongue. Mother Earth.https://youtu.be/53HVda78yz8?feature=shared@cdn.heritage by @inuksoprano

Grateful to be in Iqaluit this week for the Inuit Circumpolar Council's 15th General Assembly. I am honoured to be representing Nunatsiavut as a cultural performer! It is a special time reuniting and connecting with Inuit from all across the world. There are delegates and cultural performers from the 4 Inuit regions in Canada: Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut, and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, as well as Alaska, Chukotka (Russia's most northeastern territory), and Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). The ICC General Assembly is an opportunity to share information, discuss common concerns, debate issues and strengthen the cultural bonds between all Inuit. @icc_canada#Inuit #ICCGA2026 #InuitCircumpolarCouncil by @inuksoprano
