Abstract

Great transition is happening in education in the north for Inuit students, in both program development and teacher orientation for southern, non-Inuit teachers. This article looks at a brief history of the north, the impact of southern intrusion, and how changes taking place today in both curriculum and development will bring about stronger educational experiences for Inuit students in the 21st century.
