Malijuaq Territorial Park Master, Management, and Heritage Appreciation Plan

Malijuaq Inuit Nunagiqattaqsimajatuqanginni (Heritage) Park, (previously known as Mallikjuak Territorial Park), is located on Malik Island. At approximately 1,827 hectares, the park boundary encompasses all of Mallik Island, which has always been an important place to harvest marine and terrestrial animals, and a seasonal travel corridor for Kinngarmiut and their ancestors. Ptarmigan, geese and ducks’ nest and feed on the land, and the waters around the island are rich in fish, seafood and whales.
