Arvaaq Press creates educational resources infused with a Northern perspective.

Inhabit Education Books is a Nunavut-based educational publishing company with a mandate to provide educators and parents with educational resources that are infused with authentic Northern perspectives, ways of life, and imagery. Inhabit Education’s publishing initiative always considers stories and information in an educational context. All the publications available from Inhabit Education are developed by a team of Northern educators and language experts. Every season, Inhabit Education’s new releases include books at various reading levels and a balance between fiction and non-fiction titles. These titles incorporate concepts that students are familiar with—counting, animals, family, and legends—within a Northern context. These books are designed to support students across Canada in their reading development while providing access to materials that reflect Canada’s diversity of geography, culture, and traditions.
