Too cramped still, you heave head and limbs through split skin, unfurl the laced air of your wings. The heavy beat of your drone, bone deep, fills the dark shell of our skulls with an insistent call to live our day in the sun. *cicada: an insect that changes form during its life cycle **ibis: a large bird Question 1 continues on page 6 5 Question 1 (continued) Text four Website Net of the North Canada s Inuit people get a tool to help forge their new land In cyberspace, the Inuit have found a potent tool for telling the south what the north is all about. sending messages to friends and families across the north. And with their new digital cameras, he says, they can photograph their lifestyle . . . and transmit pictures to other kids all over the world to show how they live. They re using the Internet the way it should be used. The Inuit people of Canada s far north endure a life of physical and cultural extremes. Scattered across the Arctic from western Greenland to the eastern tip of Siberia, they still hunt caribou, musk oxen, seals, and whales to put food on the table. But they also live in conventional housing, watch Seinfeld on television, and get around on snowmobiles. The collision between old and new has sometimes been disastrous, contributing to loss of traditions and the unravelling of clans and families. Now, as the Inuit regain control over ancestral lands, they are embracing computers and the Internet to help strengthen their community and build economic independence. Internet engineer Rick Selleck has been crisscrossing the Canadian Arctic, by dogsled, to drop off NEC laptop computers, US Robotics modems, and email. He also hopes to bring the Inuits the latest wireless technology. The kids of Sachs Harbour impressed Rick. They ve adapted [to computer technology] faster than any kids we ve seen. They love The Inuit have a more lucrative use for cyberspace. In 1999, they took control of Nunavut, their name for the 600,000 square miles north and west of Hudson Bay. They hope to use the Net to cut middlemen out of some of their chief industries, notably tourism and the thriving native crafts trade. As illustrated by services like Nunanet and the Nunatsiaq Daily News, the Internet also provides a forum for connecting a people spread across an immense area. A Canadian adage says the Inuit have come from Stone Age to the Space Age in one generation. In cyberspace, the Inuit have found a potent tool for building new cultural bonds and for telling the south what the north is all about.
