Nunavummiut (people from Nunavut) face some of the most desperate poverty in North America. The suicide rate among young Inuit men is 11 times Canada's national average. Our culture and language (Inuktitut) is under constant threat of disappearing, and we face a long list of social problems.

And yet, Inuit are still known as some of the friendliest, most welcoming people in the world.

(I am from one of the communities shown in the video, and have lived in the other community as well.)
