OurNorth/OurFuture

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.
