Mount Pelly
Mount Pelly or Pelly Mountain (Inuinnaqtun: ''Ovayok'' or ''Uvajuq'') is an esker〔(Mount Pelly Territorial Park, Cambridge Bay )〕 in Kitikmeot, Nunavut. It is located in the Canadian North on Victoria Island within the Ovayok Territorial Park.〔 The hill, which is more than high, is located north east of the hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.〔(Nunavut Parks )〕 ==History== The area around ''Ovayok'' has long been used by Inuit as a hunting area and there are over 120 archaeological sites on the esker. These include ''pirujaq'' (storage cache), campsites and a grave. The oddest find was a stack of loon bones that had been "cut at every joint". This find, which the local elders indicated was something they had never seen and must have happened before their grandparents were alive, fitted in with an Inuit legend. The legend indicated that people in the area were starving and they were saved only when a skilled hunter killed a loon. To feed all the people the bones had to be broken at the joints so all could be fed.〔
