April 17-19 2009, 14 youth from Tuktoyaktuk, Paulatuk, Inuvik and Aklavik got together at the Mangilaluk School in Tuktoyaktuk to talk about change, security and sustainability and capture their perspectives of what they think life is like in the North today using video, photography and writing/blogging.
These creative peices will be uploaded to this blog as well as the International Polar Year Time Capsule Project which will be opened during the next International Polar Year in about 25 years.
The organizers and participants of this workshop would like to thank:
The IPYS GAPS Project and the Arctic Indigenous Alliance for their significant financial support, as well as the IPY Time Capsule Project and Health Canada for additional funding. With your help, this initiative would not have been possible.
As well, we would like to thank:
- the community of Tuktoyaktuk for being such wonderful hosts; - Mangilaluk School for donating the workshop space, - Georgina Jacobson for feeding us; - Alfred Moses, Youth/Volunteer Officer in Inuvik, for sharing and teaching us Nordic walking; - Dene-za NaKehk'o, Amos Scott, Cullen Crozier for showing us what they do and sharing their experiences. -Western Arctic Moving Pictures for video equipment;
The Land is Important.
