Changes in wind speed and direction over the past 30 years have had considerable effects on sea ice and oceanographic conditions in Nunavik
(northern Quebec). These changes have significantly impacted hunting and travel for Inuit. This assignment explores changes in wind in eastern
Hudson Bay as identified by Inuit in collaborative studies of Inuit knowledge (IK), and by studies of observational meteorological data in
Kuujjuaraapik, Nunavik.
The assignment has two parts; the first part involves examining sources of knowledge from both Inuit knowledge and meteorological data. And the
second part you will write a brief report on wind changes.
