Even as far north as Inuvik.

Absolutely.

 GJ> Montessori schools [...] I was impressed.
 
Neekha was fortunate that her father could afford Montessori for
two formative years, nursery school and kindergarten.  Lexi went to
a good free school (Aboriginal Head Start) with it's own set of
benefits (native Elders contributing to the traditional knowledge
portion of the programme) but overall it wasn't as enriching. And
besides, as reported here earlier, Lexi is dead against murdering
cute little bunnies.

This is more her speed:

      Title: Bunny Cookies
 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      3 c  All purpose flour
      2 ts Baking soda
  1 1/2 ts Ground ginger
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Ground cloves
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Solid vegetable shortening
    1/2 c  Sugar
      1    Egg
    1/2 c  Molasses
  1 1/2 ts Cider vinegar
 
  Use your favorite bunny cookie cutter to make these charming cookies,
  or use the pattern you cut out of cardboard.

  Step 1 Sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves
  and salt onto waxed paper.
  
  Step 2 Beat together shortening, sugar and egg in large bowl with
  electric mixer until fluffy, for about 3 minutes. Beat in the
  molasses and cider vinegar. Stir in flour mixture until blended
  and smooth. Gather dough into ball; wrap and chill for several
  hours.
  
  Step 3 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll out
  half of the dough with lightly floured surface to generous
  1/8-inch thickness. Keep remainder of dough refrigerated while
  working with first half.
  
  Step 4 To use a bunny pattern, draw a pattern onto a piece of
  cardboard. Make sure ears are attached to the head. Cut out
  pattern. Place pattern on dough and trace with a toothpick. Cut
  out cookies. Place 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
  Re-roll scraps, using up all the dough. Repeat with remaining
  dough.
  
  Step 5 Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until
  firm. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Step 6 If you wish
  to decorate cookies, prepare Decorator Icing, tinting portions if
  you wish. Decorate cookies as desired. Let cookies stand until
  icing is firm. Store in airtight container between sheets of waxed
  paper for up to 2 weeks.
  
  Decorator Icing: Prepare one recipe Royal Icing, using packaged
  meringue powder and following the directions on the package. Dried
  meringue powder is best for uncooked frostings due to the
  increased concern about the presence of salmonella bacteria in raw
  eggs. Meringue powder is available in stores where decorating and
  baking supplies are sold.
