Indigenous Peoples of the Far North with Moki Kokoris

Come join us for a fascinating presentation about the native cultures that call the Arctic their home. The program will introduce their traditional lifestyles, folklore, mythology, animal husbandry, traditional dwellings and clothing, as well as their most ingenious tools! Time-permitting, the talk may also cover Inuit games and the impressive "don't try these at home" World Eskimo Winter Olympics!
