Pangnirtung Summer School
The Pangnirtung Summer School is a joint program offered by the Native Studies Department and Faculty of Environment at the University of Manitoba in collaboration with the Hamlet of Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

The six week program looks at contemporary Inuit cultural politics and environmental issues through lectures, workshops and embodied learning. Students are confronted with the important ethical issues of their own impact on the community and are encouraged through community projects to contribute something back to the people of Pangnirtung. About one week of the program is spent " on the land " participating in seal and caribou hunting, fishing, and learning Inuit skin working and sewing skills. There is a one week pre-session in Winnipeg consisting of introductory lectures, and the remainder of the time is spent in the community of Pangnirtung participating in community activities.
