Nunavut Territory Classroom Presentation
The map of Canada changed on April 1st, 1999, for
the first time in 50 years, with the addition of our new Nunavut
Territory. The Northwest Territories has been halved and the Inuit of
the Eastern Arctic now have their own territory … Nunavut.
I worked as Economic Development Officer for the
Government of the NWT for ten years and still work 4-5 months a year
in Nunavut. I will be traveling to schools in your area in 2003/2004,
and am available to deliver this visual and informative presentation
about the Inuit and Nunavut Territory to interested schools/classes.
Presentation includes the following:
-
40-45 minute presentation about Nunavut and the
Arctic, followed by a 15-20 minute question and answer session.
(total presentation is 50-70 min)
-
a display of beautiful Inuit arts and crafts,
soapstone carvings and traditional items.
The presentation is entertaining and informative,
with some beautiful arctic slides, and a fascinating display of Inuit
arts and crafts items, and is suitable for Grades 1–12. I have found
that a maximum of 3-4 classes (75-100 students) works best and allows
more interaction by the students. I have delivered in excess of 500
presentations to schools in Western Canada, and all classes have found
it highly informative and relevant to the curriculum.
The cost is $175 per presentation, which includes
travel, hotel, meal costs, etc.
Please contact the undersigned for more information
or to book a time for your school or class.
