This article explores the impact of cultural change on the home patterns of communicative interaction between Inuit caregivers and their young children in two communities of Northern Quebec. The findings are based on a longitudinal, ethnographic study of four children, two with young mothers and two with older mothers. Implications for educational policy in aboriginal communities are addressed.
