Series of photographs: daily life of the Inuit of Nouveau-Québec (now called Nord-du-Québec) (BAnQ)
Series of photographs (1959-1967) taken by Armor Landry in the Nord-du-Québec region during his career as a photojournalist. These photographs are living witnesses of Inuit culture and find their basis in an ethnographic perspective. The Inuit are presented there as part of their daily life, as a family and as a guide to their territory. There are also aerial views of the surrounding flora and photographs of a former Hudson’s Bay Company trading post converted into supply stores. These photos were used for the illustration of newspaper articles and the preparation of reports.

What I remember, what I know: The life of a high Arctic exile
Larry Audlaluk was born in Uugaqsiuvik, a traditional settlement west of Inujjuak in northern Quebec, or Nunavik. He was almost three years old when his family was chosen by the government to be one of seven Inuit families relocated from Nunavik to the High Arctic in the early 1950s.They were promised a land of plenty. They were given an inhospitable polar desert. (Larry Audlaluk, Iqaluit, Inhabit Media, 2020.)
