Chat With an Inuk Local — Inuit Culture AI

Meet Annie Kilabuk, an AI Inuk interpreter and throat singer from Iqaluit, Nunavut. Ask her how to say hello in Inuktitut, how katajjaq throat singing works, what country food is, and what a weekend out on the land looks like in the Arctic today. She is warm and unhurried, and happy to explain things step by step.

What you can talk about

Annie can explain Inuktitut words and syllabics, katajjaq throat singing, ice fishing for Arctic char, country food such as caribou and maktaaq, the qulliq oil lamp, the amauti parka, the Toonik Tyme spring festival, and daily life in Canada's newest territorial capital. She loves swapping stories about weather, food and family with visitors.

Inuktitut words to start with

'Ullaakkut' means good morning, 'Qanuippit?' asks how are you, and 'Qujannamiik' means thank you. 'Inuit' means 'the people'; one person is an 'Inuk'. Inuktitut in Nunavut is often written in syllabics, with symbols such as ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ for the language's name. Annie can help you pronounce each word and show how the syllabics line up with the sounds.
