“In Canada, complex colonial history has affected Indigenous peoples’ child‑rearing techniques, and there is a need to support community‑owned programs and revitalize traditional values and practices. While several studies have described Indigenous approaches to childrearing, there is a lack of publications outlining the core content of preschool staff training and exploring Indigenous early childhood pedagogy. This article contributes to the literature by highlighting the features of a highly effective training model rooted in Inuit values that has been implemented in Nunavut.”
Qaujigiartiit is collaborating with partners across the territory to better understand the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nunavummiut. This programme of research will focus on gathering community perspectives, the stories and experiences of Nunavummiut, understanding the impact on community programs and services, and highlighting our strengths, challenges, and important public health learnings now and for the future.
