Feb 23rdFirst thing in the morning, we head to the Museum of Anthropology on the UBC campus. We are greeted by Susan Rowley, professor and curator of circumpolar archaeology. She had some interesting and fantastic pieces to show us. We saw work done by the local first nations, as well as lots of great Inuit art from all over the north.

After lunch, we spent the afternoon getting a tour of Emily Carr University of Art and Design. We were greeted by Ippiksaut Friesen, a 3rd year animation student from Ranket Inlet. Ippik was thrilled to have some fellow Nunavummiut in Vancouver and gave us a great tour all around campus.
