Élisapie: “It was very emotionally demanding to record the album [of cover songs, sung in Inuktitut]. I realized it awakened memories that I thought I’d buried deep enough. I did not, however, think too much about how it would be received, we were just focused on creating the right mood to tell a story. It was only afterward that I saw how much it resonated with people, whether they’re Indigenous or not. I was surprised, but on the other hand, I guess they’re songs that belong to all of us.”
