The Right to be cold
“It´s not just the Arctic ice, which recedes every year. Just as irreplaceable as is the culture, the wisdom that has allowed the Inuit to thrive in the far North for so long.” (Watt-Cloutier, 2015)
Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a highly recognized environmental and human rights advocate, shares her story who as an Inuk woman had raised her voice to explain how climate change is a human right issue that concerns to everyone. In her book “the Right to be Cold”, Watt-Cloutier expressed the connection between the Arctic climate changes and the survival of Inuit culture among resilience and commitment to their land. I found this book very inspiring and valuable to understand how Inuit and other Indigenous traditional education is responsive to the natural world.

Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change
Here is a presentation of the Inuktitut language film: Inuit Knowledge and Land. This film is an approximation to Inuktitut´s land that explores the social and ecological impacts of Climate Change in the Arctic.
This film helps us to appreciate Inuit culture and expertise regarding environmental change and indigenous ways of adapting to it.
