The North American Arctic (NAA) - the region spanning Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Greenland - is increasingly recognized for its distinct landscapes, strong historic and cultural connections between communities and peoples, and rising opportunities for knowledge sharing.
This NAA Speaker Series, jointly hosted by the Institute of Arctic Studies in the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth and the Arctic Office of the US Department of State, hopes to serve as a platform for advancing NAA knowledge sharing, networking, and collaborations.
Our second NAA Speaker Series event will be centered around Arctic youth and film, specifically about successes and challenges of engaging Arctic youth to advance Arctic and global knowledge sharing through film, storytelling, and documentaries that respect Indigenous knowledge and the centering of Arctic histories, cultures, and voices of the region’s next generation leaders.
Participants include:
Aaluk Edwardson: Filmmaker, actor, playwright, director, singer, novelist, and founder of Creative Decolonization
Inuuteq Kriegel: Photojournalist & videographer
Nyla Innuksuk: Filmmaker, writer, and founder of Pinnguaq VR and Mixtape
Moderated by Dr. Melody Brown Burkins, Director of the Institute of Arctic Studies
