My personal experiences around kinship is related to my immediate family. It was traditionally a practice for Inuit to use kinship to address each other, instead of using their given names. The use of kinship was related to family terms, which Inuit call Tuqsurarniq. The use of kinship was a form of respect and also a way to create closeness between and within families. In my personal experiences, I have a number of names which were give to me. I grew up in relation to who I am within my family, but also how people relate to me through the names given to me. For example, my brothers call me sister, najakuluapik or najakuluk, but I have cousins who call me Anaanatsiaq, Grandmother, because my name Miali was the name of our Grandmother. Listen in as I speak to my older daughter Anika about her names and talk about the names I was given.

Embracing the Challenges
Transition from English to Inuktitut or back to Inuktitut was something I had to learn. I often hear parents who felt that children lost their Inuktitut once going into daycare and feel powerless to reteach the child/children Inuktitut. I had different experiences growing up, so I couldn't always related to those conversations. It was only when my own daughter was in a home daycare and would come home speaking English that I felt the challenge that other parents had encountered. Here I talk about helping my daughter transition back to Inuktitut and using her communication skills in English towards finding the words to communicate in Inuktitut.
