Welcome back for the third episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with Polar Times.  
 

In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting to two members of the organization Ikaarvik, Justin Sigluk Milton, who is from Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), Nunavut, now living in Ottawa, and Shelly Elverum, currently living in Mittimatalik.
We spoke about Ikaarvik and the importance of community-driven research, as well as what Qaujimajatuqangit is. They also spoke about a couple of key points and actions to take when thinking about doing research in the north.
 
Here are some of the links spoken about during the podcast:

• Ikaarvik: https://ikaarvik.org/


• ScIQ publication: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.1139/as-2020-0015
