Map and Journey

 

Your guide on this journey to learn about the meaning of Inuvialuit place names is Bob Cockney, "Nuligak."

Nuligak (c.1895-1966) was born at a camp near the mouth of the Mackenzie River. He spent much of his life travelling through the western Canadian Arctic, which is the homeland of the Inuvialuit.

Nuligak was one of the first Inuvialuit to learn to read and write. In his autobiography, "I, Nuligak", he wrote about many of the places featured in this exhibit.
