MTA Cinema Politica
Wednesday, February 1 2012, 7:30 pm: The Experimental Eskimos at the Wu Centre, MTA Campus corner of York Street and Salem Street.
In the early 1960s the Canadian government conducted an experiment in social engineering. Three 12-year-old Inuit boys were separated from their families in the Arctic and were sent to Ottawa to live with white families and to be educated in white schools. The consequences the experiment would have on their identity and culture was brushed aside. The experiment had unexpected results. All three men went on to become activists and leaders of their people, instrumental in establishing aboriginal rights in Canada and the creation of Nunavut. But it all came at a terrible cost.

Marshview Middle School in Sackville, NB submitted an excellent video about Fort Beausejour, NB.

All of the videos can be seen here: http://www.myparkspass.ca/video-gallery I suggest watching," L'Histoire de Belle", made by Marshview Middle School in French, English and Mi'kmaq. It is the only entry from School District 2.
Please encourage your friends, family, students, and contacts to vote often at www.myparkspass.ca. There needs to be a concerted effort to place a school, from a small population area, onto the national map.
