Exhibit Opening, April 2 - Mamaqtuq! It is Delicious! Traditional Foods of the North

The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum is happy to announce that our next exhibit “Mamaqtuq! It is Delicious!: Traditional Foods of the North” will be opening April 2!

Food is at the heart of Inuit culture. In the Arctic this means food hunted, fished, or gathered from the land, air, and sea. Whales, seals, caribou, muskox, fish, and birds, as well as berries and other plants, have provided untold generations with all the healthy nourishment they needed to thrive. These foods continue to be important to Inuit, and many consider hunting, gathering, sharing, and eating these traditional foods to be central to Inuit identity.

The exhibit will be open to the public April 2, with a reception at a later date (to be announced!). Explore the exhibit to discover some of the ways Inuit communities across the Arctic are working to ensure that they and their descendants can continue to enjoy these important and delicious foods.
