Multimedia Kits
CAMIK - Canadian Arctic Multimedia Information Kit
CAMIK is a great way
to learn more about the Arctic. This is an essential resource for
teachers, museum and gallery docents, art educators, curators, dealers
and researchers.
The kit includes:
- Forty slides - Thirty-four of the forty were photographed
by Mike Beedell. They
were chosen to capture the essence of the Canadian Arctic and the people
who
live there.
- Photo CD - The same forty images on the CAMIK slides are
on the Photo
CD.
- Audiotape - This fi ve-minute audiotape is a short and easy to follow
lesson in the
Inuktitut language.
- VHS videotape: Kamik - This award-winning video is about
one of the last of a
generation of Inuit. Ulayok Kavlov is an expert hunter and seamstress
but her
talent for making seal skin boots, called kamiks, may soon be lost
in the cultural
transformation overtaking her community. Ulayok and her family,
like many Inuit
today, strive to balance two very different worlds. Kamik offers
a glimpse of those
worlds and the thread one woman weaves between them.
- VHS videotape:
Shaping Our Future - This video contains personal testimonials by
Inuit artists describing the challenges of living and working in
Canada’s
North.
- Inuit Communities map (24” x 36”)
- Map of Canada (8.5” x
11”)
- 105 pages of printed text - CAMIK contains seventeen chapters
of text, dealing
with topics including clothing, geography, communities, language,
arts and artists,
storytelling, music and games to economics and politics.
