File Description:
Inukjuak is a fairly large village on the east coast of Hudson Bay, in Quebec, around 115 miles south of Puvirnituq. The usual Hudson Bay Company post was established there in 1920, and with the opening of a school in 1951 the population grew as the nomadic way of life faded away; the population is now around 1350. Some of the population was forcibly relocated to Resolute and Grise Fiord in 1953 as "human flagpoles", a shameful act by the Canadian government that is hard to believe could ever happen. The airfield is a mile inland from the village and the 3,520 feet of gravel runway is aligned 07/25, and these are magnetic bearings as Inukjuak is not in the Northern Domestic Airspace zone. Both JETA-1 and 100LL fuel is available, though there may be only a limited quantity of 100LL, and probably in drums. The visiting AI airline is Air Inuit.
