Tusaqtuut Core Indigenous Knowledge Project

Furthering an understanding of Inuit culture and the impact of climate change in the Arctic

Issue Area: Cultural Preservation and Environmental Education
Geographic Footprint: Canadian Arctic

We chose them for:

documenting indigenous Inuit knowledge by working together
with the last generation of traditionally-raised Inuit elders living in
the South Baffin Region
their project director, the indomitable Meeka Mike,
who is an internationally-recognized climate change educator and
activist who continues to sound the alarm about the impacts of climate
change on the Arctic
enabling Nunavut
youth to regain and retain their sense of identity, pride in their
heritage, and an understanding of their responsibilities as custodians
of their land and knowledge
