In the third episode of our Inuktitut podcast series, host Joanna Awa speaks with the President of the National Inuit Youth Council (NIYC) Crystal Martin-Lapenskie.
The NIYC was created in 1993 to bring the Inuit youth perspective into national, and international discussions. It’s made up of six youth representatives and one President.
As President, Crystal Martin-Lapenskie has brought the Inuit youth message to forums such as the COP25 Climate Change conference in Madrid, Spain in 2019, and other international venues.
She’s from Hall Beach, Nunavut. In 2016 she received the 2016 Rising Technology Star Award from the Women of Color STEM Conference for her work in Arctic communities. She was also nominated for the Inuit Woman of the Year by Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada.
Music on this podcast is by Nelson Tagoona, Inuit throat boxing artist from Baker Lake, Nunavut. Additional narration is by Hazel Ootoowak, Project and Office Coordinator at ICC Canada.
