Diamonds In Inuktitut Taimantitut

Lyrics below
This is a song that Martha Kyak and I translated Rihannas Diamond into our Inuit language Inuktitut, made at Nunavut Sivuniksavut. Make up and the camera man is Charlotte Qamaniq. The scenes with the Polar Bear are thanks to Arctic Kingdom youtube channel and the other with the northern lights are from Ed Mauryama :). I own nothing diamond song is owned by Rihanna.
Here are the Lyrics

It's not pathetic and weak even if she ended her life. I know people with mental disorders and trust me it's a fight many can't understand. It's like cancer but affecting the mind.

[@kurtschwarz9443]

Her voice sounds so haunting and mature for her age. An "old soul". A real loss to Nunavut and the world!

I am genuinely sad to learn of this creative artist's passing. Thank you, Miss Fraser, for sharing your creativeness with us. Rest in peace. Please, every reader, reach out to clergy, family, friends or someone in your community. We need to reach out and help each other more than ever in 2020. Peace and Much Love from London, Ontario, Canada.

R.I.P Kelly Fraser, you had a beautiful voice. Greatful you have your videos left for us to listen to ❣️

Beautiful music and thank you for strengthening the traditional languages!! Rest in peace!

[@42022coop]

i love the sound of her music, its sad the last message she sent out to her fans and family was suicide on christmas eve which is going to be forever with her family EVERY christmas!!! i feel more for her family and friends who were close to her because she let them down. i understand suicide is a tough topic for many but people need to teach their troubled teens how to reach out to others if the people who are there for them aren’t helping. many indigenous people like myself have suffered early childhood trauma and there is happiness in life, acceptance and forgiveness is what helps maybe faith for others. People please teach your children that they have to be the bandaid in their own heads to have a happier life. there is hope if you reach out and ask for it. its the strongest thing you can do for yourself.

[@FIONA21ful]

I hope her spirit is singing wherever she has gone . Such an intriguing sound, I am sorry I had not heard of her before this tragedy.

[@MultiCappie]

I just found out who she was. I am just gutted. Love to everyone in pain. Do your best to remove the sources of pain, whatever "your best" is today. And at bedtime, don't worry about what you didn't do, but sleep. What else can you do, but "your best?"

[@Nikkizucchini]

Triste que por las personas crueles, y las cosas de la vida, muchos como ella se quiten la vida sin derecho a volver a renacer 😔. Cuando van a entender que no todos tienen un mente y espiritu fuerte..... Hay personas buenas como ella pero débil en espiritu que cuando algo les afecta, terminan quitandose la vida. La depresión no es un juego, yo lo vivo en carne propia, solo que yo elegí buscar ayuda y no volver arremeter contra mi vida. Joven, llena de talento, luchadora 😔 es triste de verdad. R. I. P
