In the run up to the launch of Eye on the Arctic’s next multimedia project this winter, we’ve dug into our archives to bring you some of our most popular videos from past projects.
Today, we bring you Caring for our People: Inside Arctic Nursing, a feature interview with Minnie Akparook, an Inuk nurse from Nunavik, Canada, about the obstacles she overcame to start her career, and the health challenges facing Canada’s Inuit population today.
Caring for our People: Inside Arctic Nursing was part of a series nominated for a Webby Award in 2012 in the News & Politics: Series category.
