Book
Inuit education and schools in the Eastern Arctic / Heather E. McGregor.
""This book is very important to the field of Inuit education ... It clearly shows that when schools create different power relationships with Inuit families and communities, positive results can be seen."--Joanne Tompkins, author of Teaching in a Cold and Windy Place: Change in an Inuit School" "Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to profound changes in education in the Eastern Arctic, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. The milestone of the establishment of Nunavut Territory in 1999 was followed by the 2006 Berger Report, which drew attention to problems remaining in the territory's education system." "As the first history of education in the Eastern Arctic, this groundbreaking study provides the historical context needed to understand the educational challenges faced in Nunavut. With an emphasis on cultural negotiation, policy making, and the role of tradition, Heather McGregor assesses developments in the history of education in four periods--the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the local (1982-99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system that reflects Inuit culture and Inuit visions for the future."--Jacket.
