Education
Supporting a culture of stewardship
Stewardship and education are key priorities in the management of wildlife, plants, and fisheries across Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, and Nunavut. This is in part to support and promote the ethics and practice of customary rules as relate to fish, wildlife, and plant resources. ADD MORE __________________.

Learning Resources
Example:
Grade level: K-2 Subjects: Science/Social Studies
Duration: 1 hour
The nanuk kit contains four journals. We want to collect stories about nanuk/nanuit from the students and their families to share stories with other schools in Nunatsiavut.
Students will take a nanuk journal home to record a story about nanuit. Their families/guardians can write for them and can write a story about nanuk/nanuit. Four journals are included in the kit, meaning four journals can be sent home each night with four students.
Teachers are encouraged to read stories that are recorded in the journals to their class.
Students may ask their families the following (but are not limited to):
-
Nanuk hunting stories
-
Nanuk safety tips
-
Nanuk tales and legends
-
Diet
-
A time when a nanuk visited your community
-
Any other information related to nanuit
