We explore the rich culture, lifestyle and landscape of this small inlet. We meet up with a young Inuit student who talks about how she is keeping the Inuktituk language alive: through hip-hop music. Then local historian, Theresie Tungalik, takes us out to the Meliadine Territorial Park where an archeological site provides evidence of how the ancient Thule people lived. Theresie explains that in a lot of ways, life has not changed dramatically over thousands of years. Finally a visit to the Matchbox Gallery gives Jamie and Jennifer a chance to learn about the art of traditional ceramics. In Jay's Gee! Ology he explains the difference between the North Pole and the North Magnetic pole.
