Entry 4: Videos on identity

The titles below offer links to two Youtube videos on identity.

The first  video, Recognizing Aboriginal Language & Identity,  is developed by the Human Early Learning Partnership Aboriginal Steering Committee in 2013.  Speakers from various Indegenious groups promote the importance of language, culture and self identity among the youth.  There is a certain respect, honour, pride and identity that comes with knowing who you are and where you come from.

 

The second video, The Threat of a Loss of Cultural Identity, is developed by Discovery Education in 2010.  Dr. David Suzuki narrates a brief documentary on the loss of an Inuit culture . Alienation, suicide, drinking and confusion over identity are all threats to the way of life in Pangnirtung.
