Names for Snow (2019)

Rebecca Thomassie is an Inuk woman and comes from Kangirsuk in the Nunavik region of Canada. It snows there 9 months a year. She would like to document some traditional knowledge about the different ways of naming snow and then teach it to her daughter to ensure the sustainability of her indigenous culture. So she sets off to meet Tommy Kudlak, who tells her that there are 47 different words for snow, some of which he explains to her in more detail.
