"Once again this year Daniel Annanack and the IPL students are running dog team excursions for the classes at the school. The excursions are going great! The teachers and students have provided so much positive feedback--the students just love it. The parents in the community and especially the Elders are really supportive of the outings. Following her excursion by dog team, Eva Obed wrote a poem for her English class. The poem was very touching. Reading Eva's poem made Daniel and me feel that all our hard work is really worth it!" ![]() Eva Obed, age 18, is a secondary 4 student (grade 12/fourth year in high school) at the Ulluriaq School, Kangiqsualujjuaq, Nunavik. photo: Maïté de Hemptinne A Real Inuk by Eva Obed Travelling over the snow
I felt like a real Inuk. The snow smelled fresh-
I've spent my life in the North
I thought about how hard it must have been
Running with the team
I felt like a hunter
I felt like a real Inuk. |
