Igloolik Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Igloolik Island
Igloolik Island is a small island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is located in the Foxe Basin, very close to the Melville Peninsula (and to a lesser degree, Baffin Island), and it is often thought to be a part of the peninsula. It forms part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The word ''Igloolik'' (Inuktitut: "there is an igloo here") comes from ''iglu'' (meaning: "house"/"building") and refers to the sod houses (qarmaq)〔(Joe Kremmidjuar Testimony )〕 that were originally in the area.〔(Igloolik, Nunavut )〕〔(Igloolik at the Qikiqtani Inuit Association )〕 Inuit and their ancestors have inhabited the island since 2000 BC. The archaeological sites on the island, which show a sequence up to 1000 AD, were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1978.〔(National Historic Sites Of Canada System Plan )〕〔(National Historic Sites Of Canada System Plan map )〕 There is only one community on the island, also named Igloolik. ==Qikiqtaarjuk== On the north of Igloolik Island at is a peninsula called Qikiqtaarjuk (Inuktitut syllabics: ᕿᑭᖅᑖᕐᔪᒃ, English: ''little island'').〔(Encounters on the Passage: Inuit Meet the Explorers by Dorothy Harley Eber )〕〔(New Ways of Mapping: Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) by Claudio Aporta )〕〔(Notice of Proposed Changes to Official Place Names and the Designation of New Official Place Names Near Igloolik, Nunavut. )〕 About 400 – 500 years ago Qikiqtaarjuk was a separate island but due to isostatic rebound it became part of the main island.〔 ''Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit'' (traditional knowledge) says that prior to that there was an even smaller island called ''Puqtuniq'' from which the waters receded forming Qikiqtaarjuk.〔(Interviewing Inuit Elders by Alexina Kublu )〕 Qikiqtaarjuk is associated with several Inuit legends and stories and was the place from where Atanarjuat starts his run.〔〔〔
