#Qaumajuq means "It is bright. It is lit". Art inspires us, it is a voice. - Stephen Borys

"Carvers might make something that comes from the Inuit legends, it might come from their dreams, wherever the idea comes from, it takes imagination to make something magical out of a cold soapstone..." - Inuit Elder Martha Peet #wag #Qaumajuq #inuitart

"#Inuit have guided the creation of Qaumajuq and lead the development of programs that will connect you with others, such as the inaugural show INUA. " - WAG-Qaumajuq #Qaumajuq

"Qaumajuq is the name that Indigenous language keepers gave to the Inuit art centre. Inspired by the light-filled spaces of the new building, Qaumajuq (prncd KOW-ma-yourk and sometimes heard HOW-ma-yourk) means “it is bright, it is lit” in Inuktitut." -wag.ca/qaumajuq/

#FunFact The #CoppermineRiver earned its name for the copper deposits that can still be found in small amounts along the river. Travel Nunavut Destination Nunavut

The Inuinnaqtun name of these peculiar hills is Muklok (Clay Hills). The clay, sand and tundra mounds are glacial deposits from the retreating glaciers at the end of the last ice age. Learn more about Nunavut’s Coppermine River: chrs.ca/en/heritage-ri…
