Canada's Dynamic Communities: Inuit Stories

By Amy Park, 2010 Governor-General’s Award Recipient

INTENDED GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT AREA

Grade 2, Canada's Inuit People

CONCEPTS

Storytelling is the oldest of the arts. It defines us, and brings us together in ways that no other form of expression does. Through this study, we will begin to discover our own personal and family histories, as well as the the story threads that hold communities together throughout Canada.

Through a close examination of the artifacts and traces of history that our ancestors have left behind, we will attempt to discover the important narratives that will help guide us into the future. Travel with us as we uncover the lessons from the past and begin to understand how the stories of our ancestors have helped shape the communities of today.
