🔥🔥 Breath of the Nuna- Fire🔥🔥

There is something special about watching your child become the kind of person who naturally carries light into the world.

My panik, Taylor, has always carried a flame within her. A quiet but powerful desire to serve others, to help, to listen, and to make people’s lives a little better than she found them. She leads with compassion, kindness, and a genuine care for those around her, and I couldn’t be more proud of the woman she is becoming.

When I created Breath of the Nuna, I wanted to capture the elements that live within us. For Taylor, fire felt fitting. Not because it burns, but because it warms, guides, and illuminates. The kind of flame that gives hope and helps others find their way.

Thank you, my daughter, for allowing me to capture this piece of who you are. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. ❤️

Breath of the Nuna | Fire 🔥

Fire is more than warmth.

It is the spark that survives the darkest seasons. The ember carried forward by those who came before us. The light that refuses to go out, even when the wind tries to claim it.

In these portraits, Dall holds fire not as something to fear, but as something to nurture. A reminder that strength is not always loud. Sometimes it lives quietly within us, waiting for the moment it is needed most.







Our ancestors carried their own flames through hardship, change, and survival. Because of them, that fire still burns in us today.

May we continue to protect it, feed it, and pass it on to the generations yet to come.

🔥 Breath of the Nuna: Fire 🔥

Fire is more than warmth. It is memory. It is resilience. It is the spark carried forward from those who came before us.

In this portrait, Daniel carries the flame of our culture and the strength of our ancestors. Within him burns the teachings, stories, and spirit that have survived through generations. Like a qulliq lighting the way through darkness, that flame continues to guide the path ahead.

As Daniel and April await the arrival of their baby, I am reminded that every new life is a bridge between past and future. A child who will inherit not only the love of their parents, but also the strength, wisdom, and resilience of those who came before them.

Watching these two together was a beautiful reminder that family is where our stories continue, where culture is carried forward, and where new flames are lit.

Wishing Daniel, April, and their growing family a safe, healthy, and joyful delivery. May your little one arrive surrounded by love, guided by ancestors, and welcomed into a family rich with strength and pride. ❤️

Congratulations Gloria! So amazing to have strong Inuit women in leadership roles! 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥

🗳️ Inuit women in leadership matters. 🗳️

Amautiit would like to recognize Gloria Attanuaq Uluqsi for putting her name forward in this election and for her ongoing commitment to Inuit communities. Leadership takes courage, care, and dedication, and it is always meaningful to see Inuit women stepping into these spaces and using their voices to advocate for our people.

Elections are an important time for our communities to engage, ask questions, and participate in shaping the future.

Qujannamiik to all voters that helped serve Inuit communities. 🧡

Some of our ancestors wore their stories on their skin.
Now, generations later, Inuit are reclaiming those lines with steady hands, full hearts, and the quiet strength that survived everything meant to erase us.

There’s something powerful about watching young Inuit carry culture so naturally. Not as history. Not as performance. Just as part of who they are. Like the tundra carrying wind marks across snow, these markings belong. 🤍

Every time I photograph tunniit and kakiniit, I think about the women before us who never got to wear them freely, and the ones today helping bring them back into the light.

Our culture was never lost. It was waiting for us to come home to it.

Today, as I walked along the river in Whitehorse, the red dresses hung for MMIWG stopped me in my tracks. I reflected on how I was almost one of those statistics as a child. It had nothing to do with lifestyle, just that I was an Indigenous girl. I sat and watched people walk past these dresses, unaware or unmoved. I ask everyone: if you see these dresses… stop. Reflect. Be part of remembering and part of change.
