Nunavut students invited on archeological “dig”

The Inuit Heritage Trust is seeking 10 students to participate in an archaelogical field study near Repulse Bay this summer.

Organizers will select five students from around Nunavut, and five from Repulse Bay to take part in an archeological “dig”, where they will learn about mapping and caring for artifacts.

The course is scheduled for July 12 to 30th, and expenses such as airfares and housing will be covered by the organization. Students may also be eligible for a high school or university credit for their work.

Interested students, who must be at least 16 years old, should e-mail heritage@ihti.ca, phone 867-979-0731, or send a fax to 867-979-6700.
