During the reorganization of education in Nunavut leading up to the passing of Bill 21 in 2009, the reliance on curricula developed elsewhere in Canada was identified as a potential issue. This article examines how Inuit perspectives have been integrated into educational policies and programs in Alberta. By comparing Alberta's approach with that of the Kativik School Board in Nunavik, Northern Quebec, which implements a trilingual education system (Inuktitut, French, and English), the author explores the interplay between curriculum content, languages of instruction, and administrative control within the Canadian context. The comparison reveals a greater emphasis on spiritual aspects within curricula in Western Canada compared to Nunavik or Nunavut
