Situated north of the 55th parallel and inaccessible by road, it has welcomed members of the African community on its ancestral lands for over a decade. In this frozen desert stands Kanatamat School, where nearly the entire teaching staff comes from Africa. How can two peoples, seemingly worlds apart, come together through this new model? Despite many differences, both groups are brought together by a strong sense of community and by the striking similarities in the challenges they continue to face.
