Discover the richness of Inuit culture in Canada

Begin your journey with a stroll through four spheres of life.

Welcome to Igloolik, Nunavut

For generations, the people of this island have been learning how to live on the territory and meet their needs. In the 1960s and 1970s, anthropologist Bernard Saladin d’Anglure brought together objects that show the richness of their knowledge and material culture, whether ancient or modern.

Here you'll discover some of the objects that illustrate many aspects of Inuit life on Igloolik Island. Learn more about this northern society, its world of seasonal change, and the close ties the Inuit have maintained with nature.

Enjoy your tour!
