Niels Jensen is now a Transport Canada-certified drone operator. Here's a photo of the Eastmain River in Eeyou Istchee (northern Quebec) that he shot in the autumn of 2017 for COTA (Cree Outfitting and Tourism Association).

 This is the Yuneec Typhoon H drone that he uses.

Louise Abbott recently moderated a panel discussion at the McCord Museum that was part of the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival in Montreal.

The Inuit North: Seen From Here, Seen From There

Throat singers Jeannie Calvin and Hannah Tooktoo  performed.

Authors Zebedee Nungak, Carolyn Marie Souaid, and Juliana Léveillé-Trudel participated in the lively panel discussion.

 Makivik Corporation  kindly sponsored this event.

 

If you're interested in the history of Quebec north of the 55th parallel from the perspective of an Inuk who has helped to shape that history, you should pick up Zebedee Nungak's new book,   Wrestling with Colonialism on Steroids: Quebec Inuit Fight for Their Homeland (Véhicule Press).

For Louise Abbott's review in the Montreal Review of Books, please see Wrestling with Colonialism on Steroids.
