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.
