Chesterfield Inlet Heritage Strategy

Andre Tautu and Marla: Marla and Chris: Casimir Kriterdluk examines a fox trap

From our ongoing "Some People Get ALL the Best Gigs" series:

Aarluk's Chris Grosset and Marla Limousin are working with the Hamlet of Chesterfield Inlet to research and prepare a strategy on the heritage sites outside of the community. Chesterfield Inlet's Economic Development Officer, David Kattegatsiak, has created an amazing walking tour brochure for the historic buildings in the community, and now he is looking to expand that heritage information to include the Thule, Inuit, Whaler and RCMP history at sites near the community. Chris and Marla have researched the sites and are now working with the Hamlet and local Elders to map and document these places, eventually turning the work into a strategy to link the heritage of the community with the community's long term economic development goals.

Chris and Marla were in Chesterfield the first week of August, and traveled to many sites with the help of Andre Tautu and Casimir Kriterdluk.
