The Hamlet of Kimmirut (which means “heel” in Inuktitut) is a community of approximately 400 people, nestled in the hills of southern Baffin Island. Kimmirut was the first community visited by The Chinook Project (2006)–and we are grateful for everything this community did to help make our pilot Project a success. We returned to this Hamlet in 2008. Special thanks go to Pascale Baillargeon, Loolie Padluq, Jeannie and Elijah Padluq, and Qaqqalik School.
