		Inuvialuit means, "the real people," and when the new Inuvialuit population began to rebuild, the real people became a people that identified with their ancestors culture and traditions but now had a full mixture of global humanity running through their communities.

	CMCC-The People-The Inuvialuit (briefly)
		Inuit are not everywhere the same, and the Inuvialuit had (and have) more in common with their relatives in north Alaska than those in the rest of Arctic Canada.
		Inuvialuit were not always the losers; indeed historical accounts from the early 19th century suggest that the Dene feared them more than they feared the Dene.
		At the same time as they were being decimated by disease, the Inuvialuit were also inundated by Alaskan Inuit, attracted to the Mackenzie area by the prospects of employment with the whalers and fleeing a disastrous collapse in the caribou population of their own country.

	The MACKENZIE RIVER "Great Canadian Rivers"
		Prior to their measles-riddled introduction to the outside world, the aboriginal Inuvialuit of the Western Arctic had enjoyed a life which - in contrast to the extreme harshness and scarcity of their Central Arctic neighbours - was relatively prosperous.
		Inuvialuit communities featured permanent winter houses and ceremonial halls, built from logs and sod, and a well-defined social structure dominated by powerful chiefs.
		Today, in the Delta communities of Inuvik and Aklavik, many Inuvialuit trace their heritage from both the original and Alaskan Inuit, speaking a dialect known as "Uummarmiutan." In Tuktoyaktuk, to the north, the "Siglitun" dialect reflects the language spoken by the indigenous Inuvialuit.

	CARC - Northern Perspectives (Volume 21, Number 2, Summer 1993)
		When the Inuvialuit Final Agreement was signed in 1984, it established a new approach to managing renewable resources by guaranteeing the meaningful involvement of the Inuvialuit throughout the areas of the northwestern portion of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon North Slope which make up the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
		For greater certainty, the council may recommend that certain areas within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region may be closed to the harvest of some or all species of migratory birds and their eggs if their populations are not sufficient to maintain harvesting.
		Inuvialuit knowledge and experience are essential elements in the proper management of migratory bird populations.

	The People-The Inuvialuit (in detail)
		In the late 19th century the Inuvialuit were divided into five distinct territorial groups, each named after its largest village (McGhee 1974).
		The first infectious diseases may have hit the Inuvialuit as early as the 1840s, caught from Hare Indians with whom eastern Inuvialuit were trading (Morrison 1991).
		The Inuvialuit particularly disliked the Uummarmiut practise of using poison when trapping, and used shamanic magic to keep the Uummarmiut from discovering the caribou resources east the Mackenzie River (Anon.

	Conservation Ecology: Adapting to climate change: social-ecological resilience in a Canadian western Arctic community
		According to the Inuvialuit, these observed changes are having an impact on hunting, fishing, and other subsistence activities as well as on guiding sport hunters and traveling on the land.
		The Inuvialuit rely on their ability to predict phenomena such as snow and ice conditions, the weather, and the timing of wildlife migrations.
		Because the Inuvialuit are experts at living in highly variable environments, it is not surprising that switching species and adjusting the "where, when, and how" of hunting have enabled them to cope successfully with climate change in the 1990s.

		By this time, the Inuvialuit way of life had developed into a rich and complex culture which was very distinctive to the Mackenzie Delta region and the Yukon North Slope.
		Although Inuvialuit of the Mackenzie Delta had always interacted with their Alaskan neighbours, in the Twentieth Century the two groups came together in a new and dynamic fashion to form the Inuvialuit culture of today.
		The history of the island, both Inuvialuit and Eurocanadian, has been preserved, and park rangers from the community of Aklavik are available to interpret the island's heritage to visitors.

	HeartbeatOfTheNorth - Archival Selections - The Inuvialuit Bowhead Harvest: Restoring a Tradition
		The re-emergence of subsistence bowhead harvesting by Inuvialuit is an important symbol of the ongoing struggle to turn the tide of cultural decline.
		The risk to Inuvialuit is the ability of these external actors, like the IWC and its more aggressive member states, to assert their will, particularly when in contradistinction to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement.
		Even though the Inuvialuit are protected constitutionally by their land claim and have every right to harvest a Bowhead in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), the Canadian government might still be penalized by the international community for living up to its promise to the Inuvialuit and the rules established by the IFA.

		This is significant for the WCW because it shows that the Inuvialuit have put their trust in the WCW, as a non-governmental organization of the future, in the Whaling issue.
		What is also significant is that the Inuvialuit have not attended the IWC for the past several years and their decision to join clearly shows their intent to support what they believe can be an organization that will bring whaling nations, societies, communities, whalers, governments, researchers and managers together in a friendly forum.
		The World Council of Whalers would like to extend our heart felt appreciation to the Western Arctic Inuvialuit for their trust, respect and confidence that the WCW is an organization to invest their time and money towards.
