Nunavut is a territory of Canada, inhabited predominantly by the Inuit and to a much smaller degree other members of the First Nations. Inuit folk music has long been based primarily off percussion, used in dance music, as well as vocals, including the famous Inuit throat singing tradition.
Characteristics of Inuit music include recitative-like singing, complex rhythmic organization, a relatively small melodic range averaging about a sixth, prominence of major thirds and minor seconds melodically, and undulating melodic movement.
In Nunavut, experience Inuit culture on the land or in the studio. Even though Nunavut’s entire population could easily fit inside of a modern baseball stadium, the territory has established an outsized presence on the global arts and culture scene.
Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum is a registered charity that cares for a collection of artwork, tools, archival documents, photographs, and resource books centred on the local community of Iqaluit and the Qikiqtani region.
Arviat, Nunavut, has particularly strong musical roots and traditions and is the home of renowned Inuit performers Charlie Panigoniak and Susan Aglukark. Each fall, Arviat hosts the Inuumariit Music Festival.
