Partners in Canada are the Inuit of Baffin Island.

Their Treasure Chest is a Qamutic (traditional dogsledge), created by skilled elders.

It traveled through the ice wherever Inuit live.

It is made out of wood, a very rare material in the Arctic. Many of the Inuit have never seen a tree in their life. In their language, Inuktitut, they have only one name for "tree" but 35 names for "snow".

The children of the Inuit made their Messages "everything you need to survive in the Arctic".

Stored at:

Nunatta Sunakkutanngit Museum,
Iqaluit, Baffin Island / Canada.
