S10 E4: Voices of the North: Journey by Dog Sled

Emma and Aputik meet George and his incredible team of Canadian Inuit dogs. As George harnesses his dogs to the qimutsik (dog sled) and shouts commands in Inuktitut, Emma experiences the power, precision and beauty of one of the Arctic’s oldest traditions.From learning the dogs’ language to discovering how they navigate blizzards and even take “beach vacations” in summer, Emma realizes these aren’t pets – they’re partners, vital to Inuit survival for thousands of years. With each glide across the snow, Emma feels the deep connection between people, dogs, and the land – and understands why keeping this tradition alive matters so much today.Next episode: Emma’s adventure continues with an Arctic twist: a post office, a hunter, and an Inuit seamstress – and one unforgettable lesson about community.If you're a kid who loves learning science and animal facts, you'll love Earth Rangers!
