This paper presents primarily quantitative data regarding forms of classroom discourse and turn allocation that emerged from a larger ethnographic study examining Inuit classroom interactions and discourse patterns in three kindergarten and three first grade Inuit-taught classrooms in three Ungava Bay communities. The focus is on the transformational effects of the incorporation of culturally-congruous social interaction patterns and the promotion of traditional values on these two aspects of Inuit classroom conversations. A model of mainstream classroom interactions based on the work of Mehan (1979) is used as a point of comparison to illustrate the extent to which the transformation of discourse has occurred in these six classrooms.
