The Inuit curriculum includes the following components. The Mission Statement or Philosophy is well organized with explicit questions and answers. Scope and sequence is for grade level by clusters rather than individual grades. For example, objectives are grouped according to a common theme, by age group levels. The goals and objectives include rationale, values, beliefs, major understandings, and attitudes.
Planned experiences contain key experiences and activities.
The Inuit and Yupiit share mutual sentiments about preserving their heritage. They both have strong feelings about teaching their cultures from their perspective. Like the rest of the many cultures around the world, the Inuit and Yupiit believe that without a curriculum there is not enough support to do justice to their language and culture. LKSD maintains an English curriculum. The Yup'ik curriculum would not be complete without paying attention to Posner's six common concepts of curriculum as outlined earlier in this paper.
