Arctic Hip Hop
Capitalizing on the popularity of hip hop, social worker and long-time B-boy Stephen Leafloor has been bringing positive hip hop workshops to the north, this time to the remote hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. While dancing to the beat, kids are encouraged to blend their rich, ancient culture with a modern one. Between back spins and body-waves, they discuss bullying, body image, single parenting, drugs, alcohol, anger and suicide. Because of the healing power of dance, five days later they emerge not only better dancers, but more confident kids who have a clearer idea of how to balance their cultural identity with modern times.
In addition to supporting the Dance strand in the Arts Education curricula, this video could be used in Wellness 10 when discussing the impact of mental health on the wellbeing of self, family and community.
This is a particularly valuable resource for teachers who are working with at-risk students.

The Powwow. An Art History
The Powwow: An Art History was published to support an exhibition at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. The objective behind the exhibit was to attempt to bring together the history of Native American painting and powwow from the end of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century. Various styles and artists were selected to help illustrate the powwow and related performances to present a survey of the developments and movements in First Nations painting. The book includes a history of the powwow and the role of singers, drummers, dancers and costumes. Reproductions of the artworks of many First Nations artists are featured. This resource is valuable as support for the cultural/historical component of arts education.

Shakin' All Over: A History of Canadian Rock and Roll
This video demonstrates the rise of Canadian musicians in the 1960s as they became savier at promoting their work prior to national radio exposure and Canadian content regulations. From Vancouver's 4th Avenue and Winnipeg's community centres to Montreal's dance halls and Toronto's Yorkville and Yonge Streets, folksingers, suit groups, garage rockers, r & b revues and psychedelic bands struggled to get their music heard. Some were forced to seek fame in the United States, while others stayed at home and built careers. Shakin' All Over blends classic songs, rare archival footage along with candid interviews that include: Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, Sylvia Tyson, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Robbie Robertson, Mathew Good, Bare Naked Ladies, Blue Rodeo and 54-40.

That Incredible State
This video explores the precious period where notions and attitudes take shape in a child's mind, where questions come in waves, and the answers do not always make sense. Several visual artists, writers, and musicians recollect a time or an incident from their childhood that changed the way in which they looked at the world. They face some of their childhood fears again, while paddling around Saskatchewan lakes, walking across frozen dugouts, or facing the limitless, wide-open spaces of their youth. These memories are paired with the insightful, humorous and often surprising answers that children gave to some very important questions.
