Meet an Inuk

Muckpaloo Ipeelie

Learn about the uniqueness of Inuit people and their distinct culture through story, language and craft.

Drop-in and meet Muckpaloo Ipeelie, Inuit cultural teacher and owner and operator of The Urban Inuit Identity Project, as we gather and learn together. Discover how to speak 3 Inuit animal words in Inuktitut, with activities designed to foster sharing amongst all the participants. Listen as Muckpaloo reads A Promise Is a Promise written by Canadian Children's author Robert Munsch with Nunavut author Michael Kusugak. Explore this adventure story about a young girl who encounters the Qallupilluit, an imaginary Inuit character. 

Create your own stamped journal, to sketch your own imaginary character and capture a few notes.
