SUMMARY:Nat'l Indigenous Peoples Day at TELUS World of Science EDM
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate and explore Indigenous traditions and activities at t
 he Science Centre in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day. The full d
 ay's activities can be browsed at National Indigenous Peoples Day\n\nTwo h
 istorical NFB films will be screening as part of the celebration\, at 11:0
 0 am\, 2:20 pm and 4:35 pm\, as follows:\n\nQimmiq: Canada's Arctic Dog (1
 981 24 min)\n\nThe Eskimo dog--the Qimmiq--has been an integral part of n
 orthern Canadian life for almost two thousand years. Archival photographs 
 and film footage illustrate how this hard-working purebred was used for hu
 nting\, pulling sleds and keeping polar bears at bay. However\, by 1975\, 
 the breed\, decimated by a changing northern lifestyle\, was all but extin
 ct. This inspiring documentary shows the dedicated efforts of biologist Dr
 . William Carpenter to revitalize the strain and how\, with support from l
 ocal Inuit societies\, his breeding project has resulted in a growing and 
 once again thriving Qimmiq population.\n\nand\n\nTuktu and his Eskimo Dogs
  (Laurence Hyde\, 1967\, 14 min)\n\nThis short docu-fiction film illustrat
 es how traditionally dogs were used by the Netsilik Inuit\, in winter and 
 summer. We see puppies and sled dogs used as pack animals. Eskimo dogs wer
 e also used for hunting\, being particularly skilful at sniffing out seal 
 blowholes when deep snow covered the winter sea ice.\n\n---\n\nEntrance to
  the events are included with Science Centre admission. (Tickets at Ticket
