Kugluk/Bloody Falls Territorial Park - Ethnography

Ethnography

The area, both inside and outside the current park boundaries, was used by both Inuit and First Nations people stretching back over thousands of years. Although the park today lies outside of the modern range of the Bathurst caribou herd (named for Bathurst Inlet) the area was a major hunting ground. Evidence, such as antler huts, show that it was used by both groups as a major Barren-ground Caribou hunting region. The river and falls were also a major fishing area and remain so today.
