Community Histories

This section of the Qikiqtani Truth Commission web site presents community histories for 13 communities in the Baffin Region. The histories presented here focus on events that occurred from the 1950s through the 1970s. During this period, the population in the region migrated from traditional camps and became concentrated around these communities.

While all 13 communities have shared histories, each also has a unique story that forms a distinct part of the Baffin Region’s history. These unique stories can be found in the community histories presented here.

Currently, the histories are only available as drafts. These histories will change in response to evidence (oral and documentary) found during the work of the Commission.
