Although much knowledge of Inuinnait heritage has been recorded and generated, very little of that knowledge has been made available to Inuinnait youth. Inuinnait Ingilraatuqanit Ayuiqharvik – Inuinnait Cultural School aims to mobilize knowledge derived from past research in the areas of archaeology, ethnography, linguistics and language pedagogy, place names, and traditional knowledge to develop formal courses to be delivered on the land in Bathurst Inlet to Inuinnait students, between 18 and 30 years old. This school would increase students’ knowledge and pride in Inuinnait history and culture, develop their Inuinnaqtun language, traditional knowledge, and archaeological field research skills.
