Aklavik
Lat: 68° 13' 0N Aklavik or Aklarvik meaning "place where one gets grizzly bear" is the most westerly community in the NWT. In the 1940s, as a result of a booming fur industry, Aklavik was the world centre for the million-dollar trade in high-quality muskrat hides. Today, many residents still follow the traditional ways including drum dancing, revived by the Aklavik Drummers and Dancers, as well as hunting, fishing and trapping.
