Unikkaaqtuat received a warm reception at the NAC on January 9th, delighting and surprising a full house. After the show, cast, crew, and NAC staff gathered to celebrate and hear words from Unikkaaqtuat’s Co-Directors. Special recognition was given to Germaine Arnaktauyok, whose illustrations are an integral part of the storytelling in Unikkaaqtuat.
