- The Canadian encyclopedia, online, viewed 14 July 2022:Kivallirmiut (Caribou Inuit) (the name Caribou Inuit stems from Europeans in the early 20th century who observed that the Kivallirmiut relied on caribou for food, clothing and shelter; today, number about 3000 and consist of five independent inland groups (Qairnirmiut, Harvaqtuurmiut, Hauniqtuurmiut, Paallirmiut and Ahiarmiut) who live in villages (Chesterfield Inlet, Arviat, Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake and Whale Cove) along the western shores of Hudson Bay, to which they were relocated by the federal government in the 1950s, and speak dialects stemming from the Inuit-Inupiaq language; traditional social organization was based on patriarchical family relationships and partnerships and traditional seasonal activities involved primarily fishing and hunting caribou during the spring and fall migrations, with caribou skins used to make clothes and shelter and caribou bones used to make tools; limited information regarding their traditional material culture exists because they had used and relied upon European technology for over a century by the time they were studied by anthropologists; historically, differed from other Inuit in their dependence on inland resources, making only occasional visits to the coast; contact with non-Inuit traders and explorers recorded as early as 1612 with regular trade from 1718)
