Is there a word for solidarity in Inuktitut?

“Naglina..!”

That's what one lady in town sighs every time she sees me these days. It literally means “I love you” but I think in this case it's more like “You poor thing!!” It's accompanied by a big hug. This same lady has a sister who is also locked out in Iqaluit. And she's one of many people who've told me they MISS the regional news and our other Inuktitut programming.
The petitions are filling up with signatures. And people have been mailing off a lot of those postcards the guild gave us for the Prime Minister.
An elder stopped by to chat this morning. Charlie Panigoniak (or as people here like to call him, Charlie Funnygooniak) spent quite a bit of time talking to her.
Charlie's kept our spirits up on the line. Showing us the right technique for catching a Ptarmigan with a few small rocks. Playing “softball” with my hackey sac and a “Inuit baseball bat” (a 2" x 4", in case you're wondering. ) Apparently he answers the phone at home "CBC Lockout!”
Since last week one of my colleagues has been calling community radio stations so that people get an explanation, in Inuktitut of what “labour disruption” means.
And Friday we had a chance to get some people at the airport to take some postcards to other communities.
We've translated the petition form into Inuktitut...and I'm getting some stickers printed with the lockout symbol and “Bring back CBC North” in Inuktitut.
