	Civilization.ca - Inuvialuit of the Western Arctic - Early Thule culture
		The earliest well-attested Thule site in Canada is located on southern Banks Island, and dates to about the year A.D. Within less than two centuries Thule hunters had spread as far as northern Greenland.
		These first Thule ancestors of the Inuvialuit are themselves known more by conjecture than direct evidence, in large part because land subsidence seems to have destroyed almost all of the relevant archaeological sites.
		Fortunately, Thule culture is very well known from most other areas of the Arctic, so that certain general statements can be made about local Thule culture despite the dearth of local information.
