David Epilon, an elder in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, looks back on living off the land with his parents as a child, and learning to hunt. David regularly speaks at events for young people in the community on his traditional nomadic Inuit upbringing and the importance of connecting with his culture. David was born in Coppermine near Kugluktuk, Nunavut.
He moved to Cambridge Bay in 1957, making the 7-day journey by dog team, and has lived near the community ever since. The video was shot at his cabin outside of Cambridge Bay, where he still prefers to spend as much of his time as possible.
