Arviat's Inuktitut Pictionary http://www.ssimicro.com/~arviat/pictionary/pictionary.html The project is one of the finalists in The Stockholm Challenge Award 2000. The winners in each category will be announced and celebrated on June 5th. Arviat's Inuktitut Pictionary is cordially invited to go to Stockholm in June to participate in the Prize Ceremony in the City Hall in the presence of The Mayor of Stockholm, the media and a large number of distinguished international guests. Introduction Wayne Irkok, Grade 9 Student Summer Employee, Arviat, Nunavut, Canada During our trip to Dionne lake, we stayed in a camp for four weeks on the land learning and making stories. We learned a lot about the land and our traditional way of life. Our supervisor was Donald Sr. Uluadluak. Donald taught us many things about hunting, trapping and boating. We went to a six mile field trip by foot and collected terms and definitions from what we saw and learned from the land. On July 10, 1998 we went back to Arviat to put all the definitions and stories into computers and scanned images that were drawn by Donald. We put all the works into a web-site. This Web site was made in the summer of 1998 by students at Qitiqliq High School with help from volunteers, project staff and a local Web design company. The Stockholm Challenge Conference will relate to the global character of the Award´s program and to the contents of the Exhibition. One scheduled topic will be: In what ways will the growing use of information technology challenge and change the structures and hierarchies of our working lives?
