Nunaliriniq-+Physical+Geography


 * Nunaliriniq- // Physical //** // **Geography**. //Studying the physical environment (What’s where? Why there? Why Care?) This replaces // The Land: Places and People // from the WNCP framework because understanding the land is such an important aspect of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit.

From the WNCP framework: **//Students will explore the dynamic relationships of people with the land, places, and environments.//**

People exist in dynamic relationships with the land. An exploration of people’s relationships with places and environments enables students to understand human dependence and human impact upon the natural environment. Students will explore diverse ways in which spatial and physical characteristics of the environment affect human life, cultures, and societies. They will consider how connections to the land influence their identities and define their roles and responsibilities as citizens, locally, nationally, and globally. Learning outcomes will focus on geographic understanding and skills, and will include concepts such as the relationship between people and the land, sustainability, and stewardship.
