serve as a space for community members to repair their<br />

own small engines and build their own equipment, such<br />

as sleds and harpoons.<br />

In December, 2013, Unaaq officially opened the new<br />

Uugarsiuvik Elders and Youth Camp on an inlet about 14<br />

miles north of Inukjuak. The camp will serve as the headquarters<br />

for the Association’s activities on the land and<br />

be available as a resort for elders. It will also be used as<br />

healing centre for youth and men in need of guidance<br />

and support; it is hope that isolation from the distractions<br />

of the town will help them to focus on tackling<br />

their personal issues and social problems. The camp will<br />

be a site for cultural lessons, including story-telling and<br />

animal natural history, fish net repair, igloo building,<br />

dog team training, and development of navigation and<br />

hunting skills. It will also be available as an eco-tourism<br />

destination where visitors to Inukjuak can enjoy wildlife<br />

and the outdoors.<br />
