ICC Inuit Artist of the Month Podcast Series – Simik Komaksiutiksak

We are proud to launch a special series of podcasts highlighting the ICC Inuit Artist of the Month. On the first Thursday of every month in 2023 we’ll hear from one of the 12 winners. Thanks to funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Language Component, each artist is provided a bursary to further their art.

In this episode, host Madeline Allakariallak speaks with Simik Komaksiutiksak, who is from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. Simik is a dancer, choreographer, and circus artist and has travelled around the globe.

A few of Simik’s show highlights include the “Sept moments du Joie” video show with Cirque Éloize, dancing for the song “Taboo” from the Black Eyed Peas at the North American Indigenous Games, and performing on the Sky Dancers tour with the Anowara Dance Theatre.

Simik worked as a guest artist for the Arctic Rose foundation teaching dance and other art forms to youth from Rankin Inlet, and other Inuit communities.

This is the podcast of the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC). In the Inuit language, unikkaat means "stories, reports, and testimonials". We want to share our experiences with you as we work to bring the Inuit voice to the international arena. Unikkaat is the word used in Canada, and Greenland. In Alaska the Inupiaq word is unipkaat. The Central Alaskan Yupiq term is nallunairutet. In Chukotka, Russia the Siberian Yupik term is ungipaghat. In English we are calling this podcast Circumpolar Waves because we'll be sending out our stories in waves around the world. Think of radio waves, brain waves, or audio waves, all making their way to you. The waves are "circumpolar" because this podcast is made by the Inuit Circumpolar Council - or ICC - which was founded in the mid 1970s. Check our our website at inuitcircumpolar.com for the full story. Meanwhile, we want to bring you podcasts that feature our leaders and key people working to advance the issues we are working on across Inuit Nunaat, which is the Inuit homeland in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Chukotka (Russia). We hope you enjoy listening to our podcasts.
