I am aware that the blog should have been in English and in Inuktituk because of the theme of the book and to be able to reach more people. I apologize for that. The blog is my initiative to create more synergy around the book project. Unfortunately, I have no time at all to translate all the content nor do I have any skill (I am French from the south of France). I hope you understand.However, one of the most important features of the project is that the book is in three languages – Inuktituk, English and French!We’ll keep in touch and hope to see you in October 2010 for the release of the book.Cheers!
