CHRISTINA GARRETTE
Arsaniq Students in Fairbanks
A group of Arsaniq Highschool students from Kangiqsujuaq raised
funds to go to the Arctic Winter Games in Fairbanks, Alaska. Besides
the Games events, they also saw the World Ice Art Championships,
went swimming, saw a movie, went shopping had a special dinner
in a beautiful restaurant where some of them ate reindeer.
The students were Madeline Yaaka, Paul Nuktie, Jessica Pilurtuut,
Juily Pinguatuq, Andy Nappaaluk, Sarah Angutigirk, Shirley Sakiagak
and Kaudjak Alaku, along with teachers Jimmy Uqittuq and Christina
Garrett.
Christina said, “A few had tried out for the games but not made
the team and I thought that it would be an inspiring trip for them to
go and see the athletes. I also thought that it would be a great opportunity
for them to meet other Inuit/Aboriginals from the Circumpolar
World and exchange cultural ideas and experiences.”
Each secondary student in the school who wanted to go had to
write a short paragraph in Inuktitut, English or French, explaining
why they wanted to go. They were also evaluated not on their marks,
although high academics were not the only pre-requisite for going—
good behaviour, attendance and overall attitude were also important.
Fundraising events including burgers and fries nights, selling
suvalik, banana bread and sushi, a movie night, and a raffle.
Christina added, “The Inuit Games were the biggest highlight of
our trip. The students and the teachers loved watching the sports
and seeing the athletes compete. The second highlight for a few
of the kids was pin-trading…the cultural performances was very
much enjoyed as well.”
Thanks were also extended to Makivik, Brighter Futures,
Nunalituqait Ikajuqatigiitut, Arsaniq School, the Health Board, and
KRG for providing support.
