Arviat presents the authentic best in Nunavut tourism. If you are looking for a real arctic tourism experience Arviat offers spectacular wildlife viewing combined with an interactive cultural program providing insight into fascinating age old Inuit cultural traditions. Arviammiut (the people of Arviat) are your hosts in this magical land. We are a proud people living in harmony with the land and wildlife around us and we maintain a strong connection with our Inuit traditions and culture. This landscape has been occupied for thousands of years and much of the physical evidence of early occupations still survives due to the Arctic climate. Two National Historic Sites that can be easily accessed from the community are testament to the rich cultural heritage and resources on the land www.historicplaces.ca Come explore the land of the Inuit, with the Inuit. If you are interested in learning more about the Inuit of Arviat you can visit the Nanisiniq website: nanisiniq.tumblr.com Michelle Valberg 1 The Arviat Community Ecotourism (ACE) initiative is true community-based tourism.

  • 198 13. Repulse Bay. This Is an Important Summer Area for Seals
    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.
