Inuktitut: Martha Peet Episode 5

When Martha Peet was a child living in Taloyoak, Nunavut, she and other Inuit families never lived a traditional life. As time passed, things changed greatly. One of the big changes was the use of planes for transportation. However, Peet says the Inuit only travelled by plane for emergencies. She remembers her first plane ride, flying to a hospital for treatment after being diagnosed with tuberculosis. Although Peet recovered and returned home, some Inuit never returned.
