Quick Facts
on coast of Beaufort Sea, near Point Mcleod, Arctic Plain
HistoryThis name is shown as a pond or lake on Simpson's map, but actually is, what he calls, a "reindeer /caribou/ pound, simply contrived with double rows of turf /inuksuk/ set up to represent men, and enclosing a space of ground lower than the rest. The enclosure was two miles broad at the beach, and narrowed towards a lake of some extent, where the unsuspecting animals are surrounded and speared in the water /tutusiuvaktuat/" (Simpson, 1843, p. 135- 136).
