Description

n this short informative video Martha Jaw from Kinngait, Nunavut teaches us about the importance of cooking geese and eggs. Geese and their eggs are healthy country foods enjoyed in communities across the Arctic. Recently, however, some wild birds in the Arctic have been found to carry germs like avian influenza. Martha describes how it is now safest to cook geese and their eggs well before eating them. Freezing and drying meat will not kill avian influenza. This work is the result of Martha’s collaboration with the Inuksiutit: Inuit Food Sovereignty and the Niqivut Silalu Asijjipalliajuq country food and climate change projects.
