Pond Inlet

Where Modern Meets Traditional

Last update: 11. December 2024

The Inuktut name for our community is Mittimatalik, which has two competing origin stories. Some of us think it means “the landing place”, referring to a large rock on which ‘seagulls used to alight and from which they used to fish.’ Others believe it means “place where Mittima is buried.” No one knows who Mittima was or where he came from.
