Storyteller Michael Kusugak and his wife, Gerry, came to Lansdowne today to share some stories and artifacts with the grade 6s. Michael definitely had his audience hooked with his amazing storytelling abilities. The students were also introduced to Inuit clothing, tools, and songs.
Here is a video of Michael explaining a little bit about himself and why storytelling is so important.
Michael's website is a great place to find information about his life and books. "How do you say that?" is a new feature that has been added to the website. If you reading one of his books and do not know how to pronounce the Inuktitut word, you can hear the pronunciation online.
