She says, I REALLY LIKE LOOKING AT
PHOTOS OF MY ANCESTORS.
Leetia looks at a black and white picture.
She asks, WHO'S THIS IN THE PICTURE MOM?
Leetia’s mom says, LEETIA, THIS IS YOUR
GREAT-GRANDMOTHER AND YOUR
GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER.
THEIR NAMES ARE
ANNIE AND LEETIA.
YOU ARE NAMED AFTER LEETIA AS AN
ATIQ, SO YOU SHARE THE SAME
SPIRIT NAME.
Text reads, Atia = The Inuit Naming Practice.
Leetia asks, WHEN WAS THIS
PHOTO TAKEN?
Leetia’s mom says, A VERY LONG TIME AGO.
THIS WAS PROBABLY
EARLY IN THE 1900'S.
EARLY LAST CENTURY.
Leetia says, THIS IS HOW I WRITE MY NAME IN
SYLLABICS.
A white board marker rolls away from Leetia and she laughs. Leetia gestures to a document with text that reads, Inuktitut Syllabic Writing System.
She says, SYLLABICS ARE HOW YOU WRITE IN
INUKTITUT.
Leetia writes on lined paper.
She says, THIS IS LI, THIS IS TI AND THIS
IS A.
LITIA.
Leetia writes Litia. Leetia stands behind a table with pieces of cardboard.
She says, I REALLY LIKE MAKING STUFF OUT
OF CARDBOARD.
Leetia paints a rectangular carboard box white.
She says, I AM GOING TO MAKE IT INTO A
ROCKET SHIP AND PUT SOME OF MY
STUFFED ANIMALS IN IT AND MAKE
IT FLY UP INTO SPACE, TO MARS.
Leetia laughs as she paints.
She says, WHY DID I WANT TO MAKE STUFF OUT
OF CARDBOARD?
WELL, BECAUSE WE MOVED IN AND WE
NEEDED CARDBOARD BOXES TO START
GETTING PACKING STUFF UP INTO
BOXES.
Leetia cuts rocket ship pieces out of red cardboard.
She says, I'M JUST CHECKING IF IT'S DRY.
She runs her finger over the painted cardboard.
Leetia says, AND WHEN WE WERE ALL DONE WITH
THEM WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THEM SO I DECIDED,
CARDBOARD CREATION TIME.
She spreads hot glue over a red cardboard piece.
Leetia says, RIGHT.

ON NEPTUNE.

LET'S MAKE SOME PALAUGA
WITH MY SISTER.

SNACK.

She says, NOW WE'RE GOING TO MIX THE
BATTER.
The ingredients mix in an electric mixer. Leetia giggles as she slowly pours water into the mixer.
She says, PALAUGA, IT'S A TYPE OF FRIED
BREAD JUST LIKE BANNOCK.
Leetia kneads the palauga dough on the counter. Leetia’s mom watches.
She says, IT'S LIKE I'M WRESTLING WITH IT.
Leetia laughs. She holds the flattened dough.
Her mom says, FLIP OR DROP.

WE'RE GOING TO COOK IT FOR ABOUT
15 TO 20 MINUTES ON EACH SIDE
AND THEN WE'LL GET TO EAT IT.

Leetia’s mom says, HERE'S SOME HOT CHOCOLATE.
She passes Leetia and Hera mugs.
Leetia says, PALAUGA'S REALLY GOOD WITH HOT
CHOCOLATE.
She enjoys her hot chocolate. Leetia sits at a table.
She says, IN INUKTITUT THE WORD FOR
CHOCOLATE IS KUKU.
THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE IT IN
SYLLABICS.
Leetia holds up a paper. The word looks like 2 lowercase d’s.
She says, KUKU, CHOCOLATE.
IN INUKTITUT WE ALSO
HAVE SILENT WORDS.
THIS MEANS YES…
Leetia raises her eyebrows.
She says, …AND
THIS MEANS NO.
Leetia scrunches her nose.

She stands by a staircase.
Leetia says, IF IT'S LOTS OF PEOPLE
YOU SAY…

THIS IS AWESOME.
MY REGULAR HOCKEY TEAM IS THE
ARCTIC WOLVES.

She says, I USUALLY PLAY FORWARD OR
DEFENSE.
LIKE, THEY LET US CHOOSE.
On a “Leetia Cam”, the Artic Wolves play against a team wearing black jerseys.
Leetia says, IT'S 4-ON-4.
IT'S WHERE YOU HAVE TO SCORE ON
ANOTHER OPPONENT'S NET LIKE
BLACK - THEN YOU GET A POINT.
She skates down the rink.
Leetia says, WHAT I FEEL OUT ON THE ICE - I
FEEL COMPETITIVE, HAPPY AND
BRAVE.
The raven appears and flexes their muscles.
Leetia says, I'VE ONLY BEEN PLAYING FOR A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AND I'M GETTING
FASTER AND BETTER.
(Buzzer)
The Arctic Wolves score a goal.
(Cheering)
