Explore Nalruriaq The spring of 1911 found a great number of us at Nalroreak. ("I, Nuligak" p. 84) Nalruriaq is located beyond the Mackenzie River, near the mouth of a narrow channel that leads to Kitigaaryuk. Inuvialuit have lived there for centuries, although today it is used mainly as a seasonal camp by beluga hunters from Inuvik. Nalruriaq is also known as East Whitefish Station. Whitefish is a term some people use for beluga whales. A sand spit at Nalruriaq is a good place for setting up tents and provides protection for boats. The name Nalruriaq may mean going around the sand spit. |
