Traditional Knowledge and Legacy

In this episode of The Arctic Edge, we explore how Inuit youth in Nunavut are shaping the future while deeply rooted in their traditions. We meet changemakers like Derek Irwin, an environmental entrepreneur whose name carries the spirit of his ancestors, and Olivia Tagalik, a cultural leader bridging the gap between tradition and modern life—on the ground and even on Netflix. Through powerful stories of resilience, role models, and reclaiming cultural practices, this episode highlights how Inuit traditions are not only surviving—they’re thriving. From education and entrepreneurship to community leadership, today’s generation is redefining success in the North.To learn more, visit www.thearcticedge.ca
