Tusaqtuut Core Indigenous Knowledge Project

Furthering an understanding of Inuit culture and the impact of climate change in the Arctic

Issue Area: Cultural Preservation and Environmental Education
Geographic Footprint: Canadian Arctic

We chose them for:

• documenting indigenous Inuit knowledge by working together with the last generation of traditionally-raised Inuit elders living in the South Baffin Region
• their project director, the indomitable Meeka Mike, who is an internationally-recognized climate change educator and activist who continues to sound the alarm about the impacts of climate change on the Arctic 
• enabling Nunavut youth to regain and retain their sense of identity, pride in their heritage, and an understanding of their responsibilities as custodians of their land and knowledge
