	I returned to Coral Harbour with high hopes of working with co-PI Leonard Netser on the development of a knowledge conciliation approach that would be based on western philosophies of knowing through wayfaring, and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit on land-based wayfinding. We had started talking about such an approach after my last visit in the late summer of 2021 in our personal correspondences, and Leonard was very supportive and interested in the idea.

	In the spring of 2022 I returned to Gjoa Haven by myself. I was welcomed "home" immediately, and many people had remembered seeing me around town the previous year. This visit allowed me to screen an intermediate version of the Voices of Thunder documentary for the Gjoa Haven HTA and co-create some missing material for the final edit with Danny Aaluk, a Gjoa Haven based artist who I had collaborated closely with during my previous visit.		In the spring of 2022 I returned to Gjoa Haven by myself. I was welcomed "home" immediately, and many people had remembered seeing me around town the previous year.

	~~I was also able~~ to screen ~~two other videos~~ for the ~~community~~-~~members that had worked on them~~ with ~~me. I organized a home screening, after which we shared bannock and soup, prepared by~~ Danny Aaluk~~'s mother~~, ~~and had~~ a collective discussion on the cultural meaning of the songs and dances that the people had performed in the videos. Both Holly and Mary commented on how listening to the Pihhiq just makes them "see" the land. The others, people who did not take part in singing the pihhiq, or even that particular video, all agreed. Pihhiqs are life stories of famous hunters they explained to me. This particular Pihhiq came from the grandfather of Jacob Keanik - an interpreter we had ~~worked~~ with ~~a lot in the~~ previous ~~year~~.		This visit allowed me to screen an intermediate version of the Voices of Thunder documentary for the Gjoa Haven HTA and co-create some missing material for the final edit with Danny Aaluk, a Gjoa Haven based artist who I had collaborated closely with during my previous visit.

	Finally, I took the opportunity to collaborate on the translations of the website, timeline and Voices of Thunder documentary, and interview some of the project's main collaborators to gain some insights on how they would prefer the BearWatch final workshops, that are scheduled for the end of the year, to be designed and organized.		=Film screenings=
