Imagine being known as “People of the Ice” for hundreds of years.  Then one day, there is noice.  Who are you now?  And what happens to your community and way of life?  Ashlee Cunsolo has been studying a group of Inuit in Labrador, a region that’s experienced the most devastating impact of climate change in the world. The impact has affected the Inuit both physically and mentally, as they deal with a condition known as “ecological grief.”  But Ashlee says there can be good that can come out of grief – for all of us.
