"I am but a little woman / Very willing to toil..." - Kivkarjuk's Song Inspired by an Inuit poem first assigned to paper in 1927, I Am But a Little Woman wordlessly evokes the beauty and power of nature, as well as the bond between mother and daughter. As her daughter looks on, an Inuit woman creates a wall hanging filled with images of the spectacular Arctic landscape and traditional Inuit objects and iconography. Soon the boundaries between art and reality begin to dissolve. I Am But a Little Woman features director Gyu Oh's hand-drawn animation set to a traditional tune, which she performs.

Nunavut Animation Lab : Lumaajuuq

Lumaajuuq is a tragic and twisted story about the dangers of revenge. A cruel mother mistreats her son, feeding him dog meat and forcing him to sleep in the cold. A loon, who tells the boy that his mother blinded him, helps the child regain his eyesight. Then the boy seeks revenge, releasing his mother's lifeline as she harpoons a whale and watching her drown. As the boy's sister cries over the fate of their mother, the boy realizes the futility of seeking vengeance. Alethea Arnaquq-Baril uses graceful digital animation to retell this story, based on a portion of the epic Inuit legend "The Blind Boy and the Loon.".
