About Taloyoak
Alternate
Name: Spence Bay
Local
Meaning: Caribou Blind |
|
Taloyoak
is located at the head of Spence Bay on the southcoast of
the Boothia Peninsula. Roald Amundsen explored much of the
Boothia Peninsula on his journey through the Northwest Passage.The
first inhabitants in this area were Netsilik Inuit. Taloyoak
is home to many Inuit artisans. Inuit carvers work in bone,
stone and ivory to create traditional and spiritual Inuit
images. Traditional caribou and seal skin clothing, such as
parkas, mitts and kamiks are also produced here.
The community's
economy relies on trapping and the commercial Arctic Char
fishery. Snowmobile tours of the region in winter and spring,
and boating tours are available during the summer months.
The famous "Spence Bay" packing dolls are produced here at
Taluq Designs. They also offer other sewn crafts and garments
such as plush polar bears, duffel slippers, duffel mitts and
handmade Christmas ornaments.
