Students will learn about the different resources, tools and skills used by Europeans and Inuit to address Arctic environmental conditions in the mid-nineteenth century. They will:

• identify challenges posed by Arctic environmental conditions.
• use primary sources to compare how Europeans and Inuit in the past used different resources, tools and skills to address Arctic challenges on a daily basis.
• explain which strategies used by Europeans and Inuit allowed them to be successful or unsuccessful.
• make recommendations to Europeans about what they could have learned from Inuit about daily life in the Arctic.
