Iqaluktuuq
The short span of the Ekalluk River that flows west from Tahiryuaq into eastern Wellington Bay is named Iqaluktuuq (Inuinnaqtun, meaning 'place of big fish'). Having been inhabited for the last 4,000 years by Tuniit and Inuit, it is an important Nunavut archaeological area. The Iqaluktuuq is a source of char-fishing and caribou-hunting for local residents.

The people of Iqaluktuuq are called Iqaluktuurmiut.
