On October 26th, we were very fortunate to have an Author visit for the grade four and five students from Michael Kusugak and his wife, Gerry Pflueger. Here are some responses from the students.
I enjoyed Michael talking about his life, culture, and his stories. Gerry showed Inuit artifacts and clothing. It was interesting to see these things and feel them. A part of Michael’s story was on the Inuit language called Inuktitut. He told us his life story and how he lived in his younger years. An important part was the heritage and hunting. By Sameer
J’ai aime les contes qu’il nous dit. Quand il nous racontes quelque chose, tout le monde ecoute. I; nous dit des histoires avec beaucoup de details. J’ai aime beaucoup quand il a nous montre le truc de majie. Il a nous parle de son vie. Je pense que c’est tres interestante. J’ai aime beaucoup! By Kate
My favourite part in the presentation was when I got to go up to the front and wear the sealskin jacket. It felt awesome! Michael’s wife, Gerry showed us some really cool stuff like a whale bone that carved into a whale and she showed us how mothers carry their babies. By Adam
Michael est un Inuit. Il est un auteur . Il a dit les bon histoires. Il a parler de son vie, son, chien et son famille. Il a montrer des choses Inuit, comme le fur de le lapin et l’ours. C’etait tres bien! By Ariyana
