Indigenous Peoples' Day - In the Arctic

Here's an activity to use with learners integrating GIS and place names from Canada's Geographic Education program called Original Place Names in Arctic Lands https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4eb8b3486c0e43cc8b9922a514a790b3

And if you have time to get lost in maps and projects, this one is pretty cool... http://www.arcticplacenames.ca/ that I learned about from this recent Polar Journal article https://polarjournal.ch/en/2023/10/03/a-map-to-identify-the-names-of-ar…

Thank you for these links! I can see how they also tie to ideas of climate change and how indigenous principles of respecting the land leads to better climate protections and practices. I co-taught a 2nd grade nature storyline in the fall that tried to incorporate indigenous values (see: https://bit.ly/3trXWs7). Your resources make me wonder how I can better connect arctic education (e.g., Float Boat) with indigenous perspectives and values.
