Isaruit Inuit Youth Connections Project

The Isaruit Inuit Youth Connections Project reaches out to Inuit youths up to 30 years old, by letting them know about the warm Inuit welcome and opportunities are avilable to them at Isaruit Inuit Arts Shop, located in Vanier, Ottawa.  An Inuk youth who has learned to make knives, tools, parkas and other traditional useful Inuit items at Isaruit over the past year, informs Inuit youths living in Ottawa of the opportunities available at Isaruit for Inuit youths  make metal, bone, stone , ivory or wood items in the workshop or clothing or crafts items in Isaruit’s sewing shop.  Inuit youths are encouraged to drop in, eat some traditional Inuit foods, talk to elders and work with skilled Inuit creators at Isaruit, to develop their own voice and reclaim their identity as Inuit.
