An Inuit Elder's story on living a healthy life (Inuktitut version)

Susanna Singoorie, an Inuit elder, shares her story about living a healthy life. Up until recently, the commonly used word for 'cancer' in Inuktitut means a 'disease without a cure'. However, new words for cancer have been developed for cancer in each of the Inuit regions: In Nunavut Ippinnaittulijuq (Ikpinnaittulijuq) means ‘something you do not feel until after the fact.’ This reflects a shift in how people view cancer, from an incurable one than can be prevented and managed with better quality of life.
