This episode from the Wapos Bay series teaches about stereotypes, fears, overcoming fear, peer pressure, cultural traditions and values, and life in the remote North. There are many entry points for further inquiry, discussion, research and projects. What role does mass media have in perpetuating negative views of Indigenous people? What stereotypes continue to exist about Indigenous people and what actions can be taken to dismantle negative assumptions and stereotypes? What is fear and how does it affect the body? What is the environment and everyday life like in northern communities in the summer? How does peer pressure influence health and well-being and what are some ways to prevent peer pressure?
