Tuktoyaktuk is a hamlet situated near the arctic shores of the northwest territories of Canada.
This hamlet is primarily inhabited by the Inuvialuit, an ethnic group that has occupied the area for centuries, preserving their history and relation to both the land and the sea. Practices such as hunting, fishing, and whaling are still rightfully regarded as essential components of everyday life, while elements of the community’s history, culture, and traditions can be found in various activities and events that illustrate their love for nature. Another tourist attraction of Tuktoyaktuk is its unusual geographical features, especially the Pingo National Landmark which showcases several ice-covered hills known as pingos caused by permafrost. Tuktoyaktuk is important in helping the preservation of the Inuvialuit way of life.
