Nunavut Arctic College - Piqqusilirivvik - Baker Lake


Piqqusilirivvik is a cultural education centre that delivers various courses about Inuit culture to community members.

The Piqqusilirivvik centre is located in Clyde River with satellite programs in Baker Lake and Igloolik. Here, coordinator Silas Arngna’naaq talks about the different courses they offer in Baker Lake. Baker Lake is in the region of the caribou Inuit and is the only inland settlement in Nunavut. Silas talks about the variety of cultural skills that are taught within the program such as: traditional tool making, Iglu building, caribou skin preparation, fox trapping, caribou hunting, and fishing through the ice.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
