How:
A collaborative presentation with songs and commentary to provide a different context to look at the Northwest passage. Siqiniup Qilauta does Inuit cultural performances that include: throat singing, drum dancing, games and singing traditional songs.
The name of the group, Siqiniup Qilauta roughly translates to The Sun's Drum. The name was influenced by an Inuit legend they heard about the sun. When the sun has a complete halo around it, it indicates good luck and the halo represents a drum. The group is located in Ottawa, Ontario, and has travelled nationally and internationally.
