Project Description: Elijah Tigullaraq and Ooloota Maatiusi will be interviewing children in Igloolik aged 2 to 5 to study Inuktitut morphemes. They will read wordless story books to the children and will get them to tell the story again in their own words. They will also have the children draw pictures and talk about their drawings. All conversations will be in Inuktitut. All parents will be given a consent form to sign to approve the study.
