Some of the digital stories on this website were created in 2009-2010 as a part of the Changing Climate, Changing Health, Changing Stories project, a community-driven, participatory, storytelling project led by the Rigolet Inuit Community Government in Rigolet, Nunatsiavut. This project utilized digital media to gather place-based narratives, documenting the impacts of climate change on human health and well-being and sharing adaptation strategies.

The My Word Storytelling & Digital Media Lab continues to operate and facilitate Digital Storytelling workshops and many of the following stories have been created at these workshops.

Individually, these stories represent poignant personal narratives and observations; collectively, they weave together a rich tapestry of experiences and wisdom that attempt to redefine the borders between science and stories, humans and landscapes.

Through our varied voices, we invite the viewer on a personal journey through the terrain of Northern Labrador, guided by the stories of Inuit resdients from Rigolet. We hope that this journey trandscends the boundaries of each story, and leads to a deeper understanding of the impacts of climate change on our communities, our livelihoods and our health and well-being. Welcome to our world!
