Kekerten (Qikiqtan) Inuit Nunagiqattaqsimajatuqanginni (Heritage) Park protects and shares the importance of whaling in the eastern Arctic. As the first permanent settlement to be occupied by Inuit, Scottish and American whalers, Kekerten (Qikiqtan) presents the impact of the whaling industry on the economy and culture of Inuit in the Cumberland Sound region. Working with the Pangnirtung Park Advisory Committee (PAC), NVision aimed to decolonize the theme of Scottish and American whalers by exploring Inuit use of Cumberland Sound and expressing heritage and culture through interviews and stories. Kekerten (Qikiqtan) shares the memories and accounts of the role Inuit played in whaling and the change to Inuit culture that occurred during this period of history.
