In 1999, the Kitikmeot Heritage Society decided that Iqaluktuuq should be studied by an archaeologist. They contacted Dr. Max Friesen, an archaeologist at the University of Toronto, and since then annual summer field camps have brought together elders, youth, and archaeologists to record and collect important information, and also to provide Inuinnaqtun immersion opportunities for youth. The combination of traditional knowledge and archaeology has revealed that Iqaluktuuq is one of the most important archaeological areas in Nunavut.
To learn more about the archaeological sites found near Cambridge Bay or Iqaluktuuq complete the following;
1. Tell your students that they are going to research and give a presentation on one archaeological site near Iqaluktuuq.
2. Each student will need access to the internet. Have them go to
www.kitikmeotheritage.ca/research/iqaluktk/intro.htm.
3. At this section in the site they will read about archaeology in the Iqaluktuuq. Instruct them to look through the buttons on the left side which talk about Inuit people through different eras in the past. Each student needs to go through the site and pick one or two pictures that really interest them.
4. For each picture they need to prepare a short presentation that shares with the rest of their class what the photo represents.
