Grise Fiord's Inuit name is "Aujuittuq" which means "place that never thaws." Grise Fiord means "pig inlet" in Norwegian. The settlement was created by the Canadian government in the 1950s to assert sovereignty in the area. Inuit families from northern Quebec were relocated and promised homes and game to hunt, but the relocated people discovered no buildings and very little familiar wildlife. They also had to endure weeks of daytime darkness in the winter and sunlight in the nights during summers, unlike northern Quebec. In 1970, Bell Canada established what was then the world's most northerly telephone exchange (operated since 1992 by Northwestel). For other uses, see Inuit (disambiguation). ...
