From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There were 48 Inuit groups identified in the mid-1800s in what is now known as Nunavut.[1]: 340 


  • Tununirusirmiut
  • Tununirmiut (Pond Inlet)
  • Amitturmiut According to the 2008 publication Uqalurait, the Amitturmiut, who occupied northern Foxe Basin, were a supergroup of "five or more small -miut groups" that "shared strong kinship ties."[1]: 341  This part of Foxe Basin is "rich in marine resources", including walrus, which meant that they could sustain "fairly substantial communities. By 2008, the Amitturmiut mainly live in Igloolik and Sanirajak (Hall Beach)).[1]: 341
