Igloolik, Nunavut[edit]

I must admit that the idea of First Nations children be sent to Igloolik sound odd. I would have thought that they would have been sent to somewhere like Churchill. Also, if you look here it says the name comes from the sod house rather than the snow house. Is that correct because if so it should be in the article as people will assume snow house. Cheers.

I checked with my wife yesterday, she was born and raised in Igloolik, and she had never heard of any First Nations kids going to school there. The link you provided does mention sod houses, I fear it is incorrect, the Inuit have a word for sod house - "qarmaq" (sp).

I will make the appropriate edit on the page.
