THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH
The people of the North.
Whenever Quark Expeditions ventures to the remote Arctic, we are ever mindful that we’re visiting lands long inhabited by Indigenous peoples who’ve thrived here long before Europeans set out to explore new territories. For the northern lands we visit—Nunavut (Canadian Arctic) and remote Greenland, among them— were already known by the Indigenous people who hunted, fished, nurtured their cultural traditions and co-existed with the wildlife in the regions we’re fortunate to explore today. Whether we’re visiting a community, hiking across the rugged tundra, Zodiac cruising a majestic fjord in Nunavut on itineraries such as Arctic Express Canada: The Heart of the Northwest Passage, or inviting guests to join our Tundra to Table: Inuit Culinary Experience, we recognize we are visitors to the Nunavummiut homeland. Nunavut, in the Inukitut language, means “our land.”
