Fidèle à l’esprit du classique de l’ONF, Comment construire votre iglou, paru en 1949, ce court métrage documentaire nous présente Dean Ittuksarjuat, occupé à bâtir la traditionnelle habitation inuk. De la première entaille du couteau à neige, à la sculpture de l’entrée une fois posé le dernier bloc sur le toit, nous observons ce fascinant processus de l’intérieur et de l’extérieur.

After viewing the film, discuss the knowledge and skills required to build an igloo. Assign students to small groups to research the connection between having the ability to build an igloo and getting married.
