PEOPLE OF A FEATHER AND THE ARCTIC SEA ICE EDUCATIONAL PACKAGE
Education and Outreach
Various
2011
This poster outlines the activities of one of the government of Canada’s largest education and outreach initiatives for the International Polar Year.
1) People of a Feather - a feature length documentary film based around the natural history of the arctic eider duck, the Inuit who rely on them for food and feathers, and their common struggle to adapt to environmental changes in sea ice ecosystems. www.peopleofeafeather.com.
2) The Arctic Sea Ice Educational Package links visual content and natural history accounts with real data sets collected by Arctic researchers. Made in collaboration with southern and northern educators, lesson plans are designed for high school students everywhere, bringing science and math curriculum to northern classrooms in a culturally relevant context, and allowing southern classrooms to explore the mysteries of the Arctic sea ice. www.thearcticseaice.com.
This outreach program is being produced on a not-for profit basis, with proceeds going towards Community Based Research and Monitoring Programs in eastern Hudson Bay. This ongoing work provides training and meaningful jobs for Inuit in ecological field techniques, using their knowledge and skills to address important issues of environmental change in sea ice ecosystems.
