Paul Quassa, the Nunavut minister of education, and Kathy Okpik, the deputy minister of education, displayed some of the teaching materials the territorial government is providing to schools and daycare centres throughout the territory Oct. 1 at the Anglican Parish Hall in Iqaluit. These dolls, books and games, like most new materials, reflect Inuit culture and northern lifestyles, and will go to kindergarten and preschool classes. (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
