Northern Store’s Grand opening. Kugaaruk’s brand new store

28 November 2023,, Here’s another video I made about the grand opening of a brand new store in Kugaaruk Nunavut. A little bit longer and a different feel to it, but I thought it turned out really well. I hope you like it too.

Kugaaruk meaning "the great bowhead whale habitat" formerly known as Pelly Bay is located on the shore of Pelly Bay, just off the Gulf of Boothia, Simpson Peninsula, Kitikmeot, in Canada's Nunavut territory. Access is by air by the Kugaaruk Airport and by annual supply sealift. Kugaaruk means "little stream" the traditional name of the brook that flows through the hamlet. The historical inhabitants were Arviligjuarmiut. Kugaaruk is a traditional Central Inuit community. Until 1968, the people followed a nomadic lifestyle. The population is approximately 97% Inuit and most people self-identify as Netsilik Inuit. The residents blend a land based lifestyle with modern technology and interests. Most families supplement their diet with ringed seal, caribou, and Arctic char. Other wildlife includes narwhal, beluga, bowhead whale, polar bears and wolverines.
