I enjoy this song because it also has a little bit of throat singing.

Music can be important for many reasons, it calms and soothes the mind, helps people understand what emotions they’re going through, and Inuit music helps you feel closer to your culture.

I don’t have a specific song, but all inuktut songs I like to hear.

Most times I hear them on the radio, when I use to be around my grandparents all the time. Sometimes they would sing along in front of me! Seeing them happy hearing inuktut music in the background. It use to be an everyday thing in our home. It is very important for us to keep the inuktut music tradition alive, so that we can pass on to our children, and they can pass it along to their children also. Our elders can tell us stories of how they use to sing with their parents a long time ago. And where we come from.

I love this song because it has a nice upbeat, give me motivation to clean or cook or lifts up my spirit when feeling a bit down.

It is important for Inuktitut songs to pass on the Inuit language to our next generation.

Elispie is an incredible artist who isn’t really recognized as much as the Jerry Cans or Kelly Fraser but her voice is amazing! I love this song the Ummati Attanarsimat (Heart Of Glass) I find it beautiful the way she tones her voice and the background instruments its just perfect and the music video! I personally find it beautiful when people from our culture would use old pictures or videos from back in the day and adding it to their music and just putting it out there

Inuit music is every important it goes way back! It can also help you feel closer to your culture and make you feel connected to your roots
