Arctic Peoples and the Canadian North of Yesterday and Today

The future of the Arctic is a topic often at the forefront of Canadian politics. Beyond Canadian sovereignty, are the people who live there and the enduring nature of this northern land. This two-part presentation will introduce you to a solid foundation about the Canadian Arctic and its peoples.  The first part will be a description of the peoples, their history, their culture and early contact experience.  The second part will be an examination of communities today, the present economy, arctic neighbours, and effects of climate change.
