Kim Wapachee-McDougall was brought to tears as she listened to a song in Puvirnituq, Que. this August."Parents drinking bottles, but we are drinking power," were among the lyrics that made the videographer most emotional.
Producer Milan André Boronell works with children in Kuujjuaq, who were the first to receive the experience of recording a song with specialized audio equipment. Organizers say these types of programs are often lacking in isolated communities. Carpenter, who is Inuvialuit, Gwich'in and Dene and originally from the Northwest Territories, now lives in Yukon where she runs the youth collective.
"But a lot of them were just really sharing they wanted messages of staying strong and reminding people they're not alone."The day the team arrived in the first community of Kuujjuaq, Carpenter notes they were greeted with terrible news. "They were curious about that. I'm open to talking about it. And I just kept going and they kept asking questions, right? So I would give like parents or their caregiver, like 'hey, a heads up, we had this conversation,'" said Carpenter.Kids in Quaqtaq recorded and filmed the song Shine Bright with the help of the N'we Jinan team.
"That makes everything worth it. Like all the stress and the bit of the chaos and our adapting of our original plans."
