“I believe what you have filmed will be important for our grandchildren and our children. Back when there was nothing in all of Nunavik… those who came before us, those who founded the co-operatives and the Federation… they started out with nothing but their determination.”

Past President, Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec
John Houston’s film is a powerful documentary about the evolution of Nunavik Inuit- and Cree-led co-operatives and their federation, Ilqagiisaq / Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau Québec, that should be seen across Canada’s North and far beyond those communities.
