DANCING TO THE BEAT OF OUR
OWN DRUMS
From early times, Inuvialuit have
used songs and dancing to recount
legends, stories and traditions.
Accompanied by the rhythmic beat
of caribou drums, dancers reenact
great feats of previous generations.
PROTECTING OUR CULTURE
AND LANGUAGE
Inuvialuit history, culture and
traditions are visible across the
Beaufort Delta, and you can learn
more about them at the Inuvialuit
Cultural Centre Pitquhiit-Pitqusiit,
which supports oral history projects,
traditional arts and crafts and
language revitalization programs.
EATING HEALTHY COUNTRY FOOD
Country food is how we refer to the Inuvialuit
cuisine of the North. Our country food processing
plant processes moose, reindeer, muskox, beaver,
whale and numerous species of fish. Sourced
through hunter and trapper committees in each
Inuvialuit community, the plant is part of our
strategy for sustainable food security.
SUPPORTING AND CELEBRATING OUR ARTISTS
Each Inuvialuit community has its own character and culture. To highlight
local artists and unique traditions, we commissioned 33 murals across the
region. The project connects Inuvialuit of all ages and draws visitors with
its distinctive designs.
