This album<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">transcends genre and its raw vocals evoke powerful emotions. The album is an uncensored and aggressive artistic statement advocating for Indigenous rights in a world of crisis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This album contains a mix of English lyrics and traditional Inuk throat singing (katajjaq).

It is a candid critique of Western capitalism and its exploitation of Indigenous peoples and land. Through her music, Tagaq expresses her pain and rage, protesting the climate crisis caused by colonial powers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Retribution<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Tagaq speaks for the Inuit people, whose lives and land are being directly impacted by anthropogenic climate change. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/effects-of-colonization-and-climate-change-on-indigenous-languages\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inuit people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are a group of Indigenous people who reside in the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. This area is experiencing some of the most dramatic environmental changes, as temperatures are rising at the fastest rate in the world.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inuit peoples have to contend with coastal erosion, reduced sea ice, thawing permafrost (image below), melt runoff, and unpredictable glacial melt. This is destroying local infrastructure, disrupting hunting practices, and threatening reliable drinking water. Melting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/glaciers-in-art\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">glaciers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are also exposing more dry land, compelling governments, scientists, and corporations to the Arctic to explore and extract various natural resources. These activities can disturb Indigenous communities and show disrespect for the land.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These conditions are only expected to worsen with the continued patterns of carbon emissions. A 2023 study predicts that if emissions aren\u2019t immediately reduced, the Arctic may not be able to sustain summer ice as soon as the 2030s.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1596\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1596\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1180\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large.jpeg 1180w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large-1024x575.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/arctic-permafrost-Large-624x351.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph of thawing permafrost in Northern Canada along the coast of the Mackenzie Delta.

We squander her soil and suck out her sweet black blood to burn it.\u201d In this line, Tagaq personifies Mother Nature and criticizes industrial nations\u2019 exploitation of fossil fuels.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The addition of carbon emissions into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, which amplifies the greenhouse effect, is the primary cause of anthropogenic climate change and rising global temperatures.

She points out that it takes over eighty times more heat energy to melt ice than it does to raise the temperature of water by 1\u00b0C (graph below). She monologues, \u201cOnce all the ice is melted, the once-covered ice area will heat up eighty-one times faster.

The horizontal lines indicate latent heat, or heat needed to change the physical state of water, either from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to gas (vaporizing). Notice that it requires 80 calories of heat energy to melt ice into 1 gram of water (labeled a to b), but it takes only 1 calorie to increase the temperature of liquid water by 1\u00b0C (or 1.8\u00b0F; b to c trend on the graph).<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Further exploration<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In spite of the rapidly changing Arctic environment, as well as government and corporate land exploitation, Inuit people have exemplified climate resilience and adaptation. For example, community leaders in Taloyoak, the northernmost town on the North American continent, have worked with Canadian officials to establish an Inuit Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) that would legally protect over 100,000 square kilometers (40,000 square miles) of land, ocean, and freshwater. Under the IPCA, Inuit people will be in charge of managing the land. Taloyoak leaders are working to protect the land from mining and oil industries, instead supporting sustainable long-term Inuit jobs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>References and additional resources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Baranuik.
