  Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tuktoyaktuk, or Tuktoyuktuk ("it looks like a caribou"), is a remote Inuvialuit hamlet located in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
Commonly referred to as Tuk, the settlement lies north of the Arctic Circle on the shore of the Arctic Ocean.
Tuktoyaktuk is the anglicized form of the native Invialuit place-name meaning "resembling a caribou." According to legend, a woman looked on as caribou waded into the water and became petrified.

In 1876, the District of Keewatin, at the centre of the territory, was separated from it.

The reduced Northwest Territories was not represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1907 until 1947 when the electoral district of Yukon—Mackenzie River was created.
