The Kuukpangmiut - Ancestral Inuvialuit

The traditional homeland of the Kuukpangmiut was on the western side of Qangmaliq Bay, where a branch of the Mackenzie River empties out into the Beaufort Sea.

In summer the Kuukpangmiut lived in tents as they traveled from place to place to hunt and to fish. They spent the winters in villages of driftwood and sod dwellings built on the shores of Qangmaliq Bay where they stockpiled meat during their summer beluga whale hunts.
