Our Work

The Nunavut Cultural Heritage Society supports initiatives that combine Inuit arts and culture with Inuktut literacy and language learning.

In 2020, NCHS partnered with the Nunavut Bilingual Education Society to distribute kits containing Inuktitut language materials including books, a CD, DVD, and activity book to children age 0-10 in the care of Family Services Nunavut. 

NCHS’s portion of the Piliriqatigiingniq Iliqqusiqtigut Uqausiqtigullu: Connecting through Culture and Language project is supported by the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund and Community Foundations of Canada and Department of Family Services Nunavut. 

In 2019, NCHS partnered with the Nunavut Bilingual Education Society to develop Ilinniarutit!TV, an online webchannel to aid preschool-aged children in Inuktitut language development.
