Connecting with his father’s storytelling about snow has reminded Jayko Allooloo of the importance of passing on Inuit language and cultural practices.
I was so excited, my late father had so many stories, she told Powder in a
bonus episode airing Tuesday. Stories about Inuit culture and Inuit ways, I was so happy, one of his stories was found.
Audrey s brother also heard the episode and contacted Powder to reveal his father s name as the storyteller.
Audrey said her father died nearly 20 years ago, but he passed his stories on to her, many of which she videotaped, or recorded. She s never played them for anyone else. I loved my father, it was kind of hard to try and listen or watch them, she said.
