Labo d'animation du Nunavut : La version de l'ours

2010 3 min
Leaving soon

Court métrage d'animation du Labo d'animation du Nunavut. Un explorateur colonial suffisant débarque d’un voilier et plante un drapeau dans les glaces de l’Arctique, sous l’œil stupéfait d’un chasseur inuit. L’explorateur plante un second drapeau, puis un troisième et un autre encore, pendant que le chasseur, de toute évidence peu impressionné par la « découverte » de ce territoire, reprend tranquillement ses occupations. Dans cette recréation pleine de charme et d’humour du premier contact entre Inuits et Européens, Jonathan Wright nous raconte l’histoire d’un chasseur rempli de bon sens et de l’explorateur sans ressources auquel il dame le pion.

Education

Ages 6 to 9
School subjects
Students should consider the historical significance of early contact. What would they do if someone knocked on their door and announced that they were moving into their house? Why is the European man depicted like a house when he is planting flags? Why does the Inuit man use a bear to scare the European? Who are the students rooting for and why? What are cultural differences and why should we respect them?
