Prior to screening, discuss the notion of patience and the feelings involved in waiting for something. Have students think of a time they waited patiently and ask whether it was worth it. After viewing the film, research the meaning of the title. (An online dictionary indicates that “nippaq” means waiting at a seal breathing hole.) Referring to materials from the Many Strong Voices program (manystrongvoices.org), research how climate change affects the community of Pangnirtung, Nunavut, from the perspectives of the community’s youth.
