What is a place in nature that calms you when you go there?

A place in nature that calms me down is Pilukuvik. Where my grandparents and I use to go to when spring comes to reconnect with the land and just go have a family time away from home. Up to today, my parents goes there during spring time with their grandchildren and it brings me back to my memories with my grandparents.

What calms me down back home in Clyde River is walking to the ‘big rock’ with a friend (bff) and just talk about life and what not. The big rock is isolated from town and the walk could be 30 minutes up to an hour; depending on how fast or slow you walk

Why? Because we just need to be with someone sometimes, and we need to get fresh air. It’s YOUR time to just talk about anything without anyone (except your friend) listening and without judgement.

A place in nature that calms me down in Sapujuaq. My common law walked me around the land and showed me around. It was so calming and it refreshed our mind.

It’s a place where I’m out on the land and its nice and quiet in the summer like when i was a kid with my family in iqaluit, we go boating and camp with my grandparents. We sometimes practice shooting with small 22 gun in a pond, go out boating to hunt seals or caribou. Its so calming when out on the land to refresh yourself.

The place that calms and refreshes me is a place called Iqalugaarjuit, Iqalugaarjuit is where we go fishing during winter/spring time while the ice and the trial is still useable. This spring, I learned how to drive myself to the lake as I really wanted to go fishing. I followed people that knows the trial and used our skidoo to drive myself following the people that was heading there. I love the fish there that I get to catch. But i have never gone there during summer time yet.
