STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
The people I care about up North, most of them don’t know
the in-depth content of the courses that we are taking, but these
are all important topics us Inuit need to know more about. I find
myself crying quietly as I’m walking to my classes or as I’m walking
through the mall when I think about what we are learning: such
as the Knowledge of Archaeology, the history of our land plus
the history of Inuit Governance, de-colonization and the history
of how Inuit used to resolve their conflicts.
– Lizzie Nowra, Inukjuak
My friends are almost sick of me talking about this program
all the time.
– Nauya Vidahl, Kangiqsujuaq
I’m so happy I applied and came to Nunavik Sivunitsavut.
I would have regretted it had I not applied. Best decision ever.
– Mary Saunders, Kuujjuaq
It’s life-changing. We are learning so much about ourselves.
I recommend it to all Nunavimmiut of any age.
– Angela Moorhouse, Inukjuak
