   This CD-ROM is a supplement to a dissertation by Shari Fox entitled,'When the 
   Weather is Uggianaqtuq: Linking Inuit and Scientific Observations of Recent 
   Environmental Change in Nunavut, Canada.' Ph.D. dissertation, Department of 
   Geography, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, Colorado. U.S.A. 2004.

Group: Summary

   Uggianaqtuq (pronounced OOG-gi-a-nak-took) is a North Baffin Inuktitut word 
   that means to behave  unexpectedly, or in an unfamiliar way. From the 
   perspective of many hunters and elders in the Arctic,  the weather has been 
   uggianaqtuq in recent years. In this interactive, multi-media CD-ROM, Inuit 
   from  two communties, Baker Lake (Qamani'tuaq) and Clyde River 
   (Kangiktugaapik) in Nunavut, Canada, share  their observations and 
   perspectives on recent environmental changes. The CD-ROM is a pilot project  
   that uses media technology as an alternative way (as opposed to written 
   reports) to document and communicate Inuit observations and knowledge. Maps, 
   text, photos, video and music are integrated to  help illustrate the changes 
   Inuit have observed in their environment and the impacts on their  
   livelihoods. The integrated components allow the user to search by topic or 
   person; view interview clips  in Inuktitut with English interpretations; view 
   and print maps about environmental changes drawn by  participants; view short 
   videos with scenes from the communities; view summaries and photos of  
   environmental changes and their impacts to the landscape and community life. 
   Topics include sea ice,  snow, wind, weather variability, changes in seasons, 
   changes in activities, animals, and more.
