  1. Iqaluit, Nunuvat Let the journey begin! Click to keep going Melody Daigle mdaigle@bsdvt.org Course #87T01 .

  2. Hey, how was your flight? Long, right? You must be tired! I know you can’t fly to Iqaluit straight from Vermont, how did you…oh, a bus to Ottawa and then a plane to us? Great! Were you nervous on the little fifteen seaters? Question: Does anyone know why larger planes don’t fly to Iqaluit? Click the globe to go to Mapquest. Mapquest can give you exact driving directions to almost anywhere, but try to get directions from your house to iqaluit and see what happens! .. Answer:It’s because there isn’t enough demand for flights here to make it worthwhile for the airlines to use larger planes. Only really adventurous tourists come here, and only about 7000 of us live here. Oh, I know, just in Burlington alone you have 40,000 people. Well, you will see very soon, Iqaluit is a very different kind of place. Click the blue airplane to check out the Iqaluit airport a bit more. Especially check out the current weather conditions! Click on Alignak to continue. • . / Click to go back

  3. ᑐᙵᓱ Tunngahugit That means “welcome” in Inuktitut! My name is Alignak, and I will be your guide for this trip. What? Oh, you think my name is unusual! It is an Inuit name. (Click on the book and check out some other Inuit names and what they mean! Maybe you would like to choose an Inuit name for your journey! ) By the way, this is Iqaluit..…in summer! Have you ever heard Inuktiitut spoken? Inuktitut is the Inuit language. Check out a friend of mine, teaching Inuktitut to an English speaker. (Click on the microphone) Iqaluit is a village in the far north of Canada, in a territory called Nunavut. Nunavut is part of Canada but since 1992, it has belonged to my people, the Inuit. You may know this race of people as “Eskimo,” but our real name is “Inuit.” Click to continue.

  4. What do I wear???? .. So, you think your LL Bean jacket is warm?? Try on one of these parkas, made from animal skins. What kinds of animals do you think coats like this are made from? That’s right – caribou, musk ox, Arctic fox, seal. Even though we can get store-bought clothes, many of us still like making our own outerwear, using our traditional methods. It keeps our culture alive – and the clothes are incredibly warm and comfortable. As you can see! Oh, by the way, you can get ordinary parkas and jackets here too, and you can order them online, just like in Vermont. But things are more expensive here. Question: Do you know why? Click on Alignak to go keep going. Question: Anyone know what these boots are called? Answer: Things are expensive because everything has to be shipped from far away. We don’t have factories here. Oh, and the boots are called mukluks. Try saying that word; it’s fun on the tongue!

  5. Check out these guys! Aren’t they cute? And feel how soft and thick their fur is! Do you know why? To keep warm, of course! They have an extra layer of fur under their guard hairs and thickly furred and padded feet, so they walk well on snow. And see how tightly they can curl up against wind and cold? Q: Do you know what we call dogsledding? Answer: We call dogsledding “mushing”. There are other, more modern ways to get around, but mushing is fun and traditional. And we really get attached to the dogs. Our dogs are a team, with us. Like you are a team at your school. See them hitched up? Look at them go! ! Click on Alignak to keep going.

  6. So here’s one way Iqaluit probably seems really different from your town. We hardly have any roads or cars! And we don’t have any highways connecting us to other towns or provinces. Do you know why? You guessed it- the roads are too loaded with snow and ice, most of the year. And also, where the heck would we get cars anyway? We’d have to ship them from a long way away, which is expensive, and also impossible most of the year, because the ice closes in and ships can’t get through. Also, you’re from Vermont, so you know what the harsh snow and ice conditions can do to a car. Talk about wear-and-tear! So we mostly use snowmobiles and dogsleds, and in the summer we use ATV’s. Hop on, take a spin! Click on the Alignakk to keep going.

  7. Iqaluit’s backyard ….Question: do you know what ocean this is? Keep going Answer: The Arctic Ocean

  8. This is part of an amazing mural that is on the outside of our hospital. Question: Can you tell what the animal is? Do you know why the artist painted this animal? Answer: Whales were traditionally a crucial part of our diet and our lifestyle. The annual whale hunt was an important event. We used every part of the whale, not just the meat. Do you have any idea what we used whale blubber for? The oils in the blubber allowed us to light our lamps. Today, we have electricity and other options for food, but some people still go on an annual whale hunt and enjoy eating the meat. Get closer, check it out. It’s beautiful! (Click on the painting to see the mural close-up, in detail.) Nunavut’s skyline Click on the Alignak to keep going with our trip. .)

  10. St Jude’s Cathedral – the most famous building in Iqaluit. Question: What does the shape remind you of? Keep going Answer: An igloo, right?

  11. The People Check out the amautit (that’s the backpack the baby is in!) By now you are probably ready to get to know some people. Don’t feel nervous! Even though Iqaluit is different from your town, we have a lot in common. qaluit has a big mix of people – kind of like Burlington does. You can hear Inuktitut, English, French, and other languages as you wander around. Most of us speak more than one language. The kids here are a lot like you. They have iPhones, get on the internet, go to dances, play basketball, hang out with friends, like you! But as you’ve seen, there’s always wildness close by when you are in Iqaluit. Go on

  12. Got a little time? Click to listen to an Inuit storyteller! Enough talking, it’s time for adventure! Pick something to do. You won’t be sorry! How about a dogsled ride. Click here to get in the sled! We have some amazing artists. Click here to take a look! Maybe you could learn to do a soapstone carving. That’s traditional Inuit art.
