Inuit Culture Day |

Thanks to the Inuit Staff at Ulluriaq, one of the biggest highlights of this school year was undoubtedly Inuit Culture Day. On a beautiful, sunny spring day in March, the entire school gathered in the forest to learn about and celebrate Inuit culture. The event was launched with Johnny George Annanack lighting a traditional soap stone oil lamp.
There were five tents set up in the trees just south of the community. In each of the tents Inuit Elders shared knowledge about sewing, tanning skins, cooking, music and other skills. Outside of the tents, students learned about dog sledding, seal hunting, how a traditional outdoor freezer worked—to name only a few. A traditional lunch comprised of only country food was shared with all those interested from the school and from the community.
Everyone in attendance learned something new, made new friends and had a completely wonderful experience. A very special thanks goes out to Mary Baron and her committee for organizing the entire event.
