Arvia'juaq and Qikiqtaarjuk National Historic Site

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arvia'juaq and Qikiqtaarjuk National Historic Site of Canada contains two areas: Arvia'Juaq and Qikiqtaaruk. Arvia'Juaq, an island in Hudson Bay, is located close to Arviat, Nunavut. It is a Canadian national historic site and a Paallirmiut Inuit summer camp site.

Qikiqtaarjuk, once a Hudson Bay island, is now part of the mainland, and it faces Arvia'Juaq. Like Arvia'Juaq, Qikiqtaarjuk contains many Paallirmiut artifacts and both are considered ritual, spiritual, and sacred sites.^[1]
