The Inuk artist Elisapie recently released a covers album sung in her native language of Inuktitut. The album includes covers of songs by Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and more. She chose each song for the personal memory it holds from her upbringing in a small village in northern Quebec. In an interview with Emily Fox, she shares some of those memories as well as how colonialism and boarding schools have impacted her Inuit community.
