It’s never too early to show off your talent: young Inuit performers from the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre perform for several dozen people at the downtown Ottawa offices of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada May 24 as part of Aboriginal Week in the Capital. The wee singers were giggling a bit at first but soon settled in and delighted the crowd with some throatsinging under direction from Ina Zakal, cultural instructor for the Sivummut Head Start Program.
