Cambridge Bay (Inuinnaqtun: ''Iqaluktuuttiaq'' Inuktitut: ᐃᖃᓗᒃᑑᑦᑎᐊᖅ; 2006 population 1,477;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2006 Community Profiles )〕 UA population 1,147) is a hamlet located on Victoria Island in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is named for Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, while the traditional Inuinnaqtun name for the area is ''Ikaluktuutiak'' (old orthography) or ''Iqaluktuttiaq'' (new orthography) meaning "good fishing place". The traditional language of the area is Inuinnaqtun and is written using the Latin alphabet rather than the syllabics of the Inuktitut writing system. Like Kugluktuk, Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok syllabics are rarely seen and used mainly by the Government of Nunavut.〔(Office of the Languages Commissioner of Nunavut – PDF Dialect Map )〕〔(Office of the Languages Commissioner of Nunavut – Writing systems )〕 Cambridge Bay is the largest stop for passenger and research vessels traversing the Arctic Ocean's Northwest Passage, a disputed area which the Government of Canada claims are Canadian Internal Waters, while other nations state they are either territorial waters or international waters. ==Location and population== Situated between Dease Strait and Queen Maud Gulf on the southeast coast of Victoria Island (''Kitlineq''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Society-COPPER-ESKIMO )〕), part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Cambridge Bay is a transportation and administrative centre for the Kitikmeot Region.〔(Cambridge Bay ) at the Nunavut Planning Commission〕 To the north of the community is Ferguson Lake (Inuinnaqtun: ''Tahiryuaq'' or ''Tahikyoak'') which flows into Wellington Bay via the Ekalluk River. The Ekalluk River is both an important commercial fishing and archaeological area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cambridge Bay Arctic Char )〕 and of particular importance is the short section of the river known as ''Iqaluktuuq''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iqaluktuurmiutat: Life at Iqaluktuuq )〕 About west of the community lie the Finlayson Islands which were surveyed by Sir Richard Collinson on board the ''Enterprise'' during his search for Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. The area was a traditional hunting and fishing location and archaeological sites are often found. barren-ground caribou, muskox, Arctic char, lake trout and ringed seal were the primary, and remain important food sources. Situated east of Cambridge Bay is Ovayok Territorial Park, which includes the large esker known as Ovayok (Mount Pelly).〔(Ovayok ) at Nunavut Parks〕 As of the 2006 census the population was 1,477, an increase of 12.8% from the 2001 census.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2001 Community Profiles )〕 The median age of the population is 26.3 and 69.3% of the people are over 15.〔 Both of these figures are slightly higher than the numbers for Nunavut as a whole (23.1 and 66.1%).〔 In 2006, 82.7% (Nunavut: 85.0%) of the population were listed as Aboriginal and 17.7% (Nunavut: 15%) as non-Aboriginal. Of the total population 78.9% (Nunavut: 84%) were Inuit, 1.7% (Nunavut: 0.4%) Métis and 1.4% (Nunavut: 0.3%) North American Indian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
