Inuktitut is threatened by dominant languages and Ulivia explores the idea of technology as a possible ally. Ulivia Uviluk (Olivia Lya Thomassie) was born in Kuujjuaq in 1998. She lives between Montreal and Kangirsuk, Nunavik and has been involved with Wapikoni for Native Montreal Youth campaign against discrimination and has worked as a local coordinator for Montreal and Kangirsuk workshops.
