In the first of what they hope will become regular #HeritageFairs, Grade 9 #students from Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik school in #RankinInlet explored #Canadian figures & conflicts and how they relate to #Inuit #cultural values.

A #heritage fair is like a science fair but for #SocialStudies, said teacher Sarah Bruckschwaiger.
