Follow along with Spencer and Gary as they learn about one of the eight guiding Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles: respecting the land, animals and environment. Don't miss the rest of Spencer's adventures! Check out the entire series to find out how Spencer and Gary learn about each of the eight guiding Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles.
