Paul Okalik, the minister of culture and heritage, announced the release of a human anatomy glossary in the legislative assembly in Iqaluit Oct. 29, published in Nunavut’s four official languages — Inuktitut, Inuinnaqtun, English and French. The illustrated glossary is intended to improve communication between health professionals, medical interpreters and patients, Okalik said in a minister’s statement. “I would like to thank all those who were involved in completing this critical work, especially the elders who shared their knowledge with us.” (PHOTO BY THOMAS ROHNER)
