Archeological and historical evidence show the Inuit of the circumpolar world had a deep, conservative, and extremely effective system of education which was attacked and nearly destroyed by a system of schooling imposed from the south. As a result of recent agreements and legislation in Arctic Quebec and the Northwest Territories, this Inuit centred education has enjoyed a resurgence, and has become more and more a part of modern northern schooling. Leading this resurgence is a strong demand for and movement towards the training of Inuit teachers to teach in their native language. The history and present status of McGill's response to this demand is described in some detail.
RÉSUMÉ On possède des preuves archéologiques et historiques que les Inuit du monde circumpolaire possédaient un système d'éducation solidement enraciné, conservateur et efficace qui a été attaqué et pratiquement détruit par la scolarité imposée par le sud. Suite aux récents accords et législations adoptées dans l'Arctique québécois et dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, cet enseignement typiquement inuit connaît une renaissance et fait de plus en plus partie de la scolarité nordique contemporaine. A la base de cette renaissance, il faut citer le désir manifesté par beaucoup de voir les professeurs inuit enseigner dans leur langue maternelle. L'historique de ce qu'a fait McGill pour répondre à cette demande est ici décrit en détail. View document
