Taloyoak
Our land, our food,
our people
Nestled on the southwestern coast of Aqviqtuuq (Boothia Peninsula) in Nunavut, the hamlet of Taloyoak, is the northernmost community on mainland Canada. In Inuktitut, the name ‘Talurjuaq’ means “large blind” in reference to the caribou hunting blind made of stones used as a cover by hunters.

“Aqviqtuuq is our home, our traditional lands. It has provided us with what we have needed to survive and thrive here for generations. We want to see the lands and resources here protected from industrial development because the area is sacred to us, and has everything we need to prosper.” - Jimmy Ullikatalik
