Youth and elders work together Jan. 16 in Cambridge Bay to build an igloo. The workshop, hosted by the Kitikmeot Historical Society, took place in collaboration with architect Dr. Nancy Mackin as part of their joint architectural project to document traditional Inuit structures and materials and reconsider how these can be used now in Arctic housing. The project, called Inuit Architectural Wisdom for Sustainable Arctic Communities, will involve people in Uluhaktok, Kugluktuk and Cambridge Bay. (PHOTOS COURTESY OF JEANNIE EHALOAK)
