Sachs Harbour
Sachs Harbour is a hamlet located in the Inuvik Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Situated on the southwestern coast of Banks Island in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the population according to the 2011 census count was 112 people.〔(Sachs Harbour, HAM Northwest Territories (Census subdivision) )〕 The two principal languages in the town are Inuvialuktun and English. The traditional name for the area is "Ikahuak", meaning "where you go across to". Bulk supplies of food and other items are brought by barge in the summer months and flights from Inuvik, some to the southwest, operate all year, via the Sachs Harbour Airport. Sachs Harbour is the only permanent settlement on Banks Island.
The town was named after the ship ''Mary Sachs'', which was part of the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913.
==Community life==
The community's economy is based largely on hunting and trapping, but tourism also plays a small role. Most of the town lies within of the shoreline. Residents also engage in ice fishing, harvesting fish from the Amundsen Gulf and the Beaufort Sea. There is a goose hunt every spring - Banks Island being the home to the largest goose colony in North America. The community is also home to the largest commercial muskox harvests in Canada. Three quarters of the world's population of muskoxen roam the island. Barren-ground Caribou and polar bear are also seen on the island. On April 26, 2006 the world's first documented wild-born grizzly–polar bear hybrid was shot near the town.
