Inukjuak’s community-led hydro project shows how Indigenous ownership can drive a just energy transition in the Arctic.
ᑰᒃ ᑰᑦᑐᖅ The Flowing River is an award-winning documentary project led by Concordia University’s Aphrodite Salas and produced in collaboration with CTV Montreal and the community of Inukjuak.
This documentary was supported in part by Concordia’s Volt-Age program, a Canada First Research Excellence Fund initiative led by Concordia University, and in partnership with the University of Calgary, Toronto Metropolitan University, and the Dalhousie University. Volt-Age’s mission is to push the frontier of society’s electrification by bringing together researchers’ expertise, community insights, industry partnerships, and training the next generation.
A huge thanks to Concordia Volt-Age for partnering with us for the 2026 National Gathering!
A heartfelt thank you to the climate leaders behind the Innavik Hydro project for sharing their story and inspiring others along the way: Eric Atagotaaluk, Sarah Lisa Kasudluak, Tommy Palliser, and Aleashia Echalook.
