Introduction and Project Background

Kirk Anderson, Kathy Snow

Initially, this special edition of The Morning Watch was developed to share the results of this research into four case studies within Inuit Nunangat. As such, the writing reflects a research project focused on four schools and communities in Northern Canada: Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. The research in these four regions responds some gaps in current literature related to Inuit education. As time has moved on, additional writers and materials have been added to round out the journal discussion to better share a Pan-Arctic view of both teacher development for the North as well as Indigeneity within the Arctic region.
