About the Course

Welcome to this online course – Peoples and cultures in the Arctic. In this, the 4th instalment of The Arctic MOOCs we want to bring you closer to peoples and cultures living in the circumpolar Arctic. Therefore, this is more like a documentary than a classical course. Our hope is that by getting to know people living in the Arctic you gain a better insight and understanding of what the Arctic means to thousands of individuals, but also that you, by acquiring more knowledge can become a valuable advocate for environmental and other issues facing the future of the Arctic. This is a collaboration between UArctic, University of Alberta, and UiT Arctic University of Norway....

Too much "muh climate change", too little information on culture, habits, flora and fauna.

This is a wonderful short course featuring remarks by many native and professional speakers. It gave such a nice glimpse into the creative ways scientists and indigenous people are working together to ensure good outcomes to challenges in the Arctic. Very enjoyable.

This course, despite being offered by the University of Alberta, has very little content about Canada’s Arctic culture and peoples. It focuses mainly on Norway and Northwestern Russia. It is nevertheless and thought-provoking introduction to Arctic culture and the challenges, and opportunities, that it faces.

I was really hoping to learn more about the indigenous of the arctic. Wish the videos that had a language other than English provided subtitles in-screen, instead of scrolling down to read along with the note (and only seeing a smaller version of the video on the side.). Course is more geared towards cultures in Norway (which makes sense as that is where the university is from). A little disappointed that the US was mentioned more than Canada.
