We’re so used to having good, accurate maps any time we want them that we might not realize maps have changed a lot.

Turns out they can be beautiful, practical or totally misleading. Inuit have used inuksuit not only to find their way around the Arctic but to point out good places to hunt and fish. Learn all about the inuksuk from Inuit builder and teacher Peter Irniq.

See how much you know about famous landmarks and discover how to be your own navigator.

Meet Mina Hubbard who carried on her husband’s journey to map northern Labrador after her husband died. And follow three families in three times who are both lost and found.
