==Name==
There is some confusion about the village name. Residents say the real name is ''Panniqtuuq'', which means "the place of many bull caribou".〔(Qikiqtani Inuit Association - Pangnirtung Profile )〕 Early in 2005 residents voted against officially changing the name of the village to the native one, as Pangnirtung has achieved an international reputation. Its residents have created high-quality traditional arts in sculpture, as well as adaptation of themes and design in printmaking and weaving.
Pangnirtung is nicknamed the ''Switzerland of the Arctic'', or simply Pang.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=John Wiley & Sons., Inc. )〕
