In English: A place to recognize oneself. Where we can know ourselves and connect with each other, determine the path and travel it together. A place of Inuit community-building, starting with each person. In helping each other, we are finding ourselves, and reconciling the past, present and future.
The atlas, contents
Nine places make up this organisation. They are listed the way the Knowledge Atlas lists the land around Clyde River: numbered, named, and each one a short descent away. Start anywhere. The water deepens as you go.

The Wellness Rooms
Inuit-led, culturally and linguistically relevant community programs and counselling services, based on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit and Inuuqatigiittiarniq: the healthy inter-connection of mind, body, spirit, and the environment.

The Training Floor
Fifteen years of Our Life's Journey: the only Inuktitut-language counsellor training and mentorship program in Nunavut, created in 2012 because counselling should be by Inuit, for Inuit.

The Heritage Shore
Ittaq, founded in 2005: research, multimedia, land-programming, and heritage. Elders, youth, and local experts mobilizing knowledge and monitoring the environment, in films the world has recognised.

The Working Coast
Tukumaaq Inc., the social enterprise, incorporated in 2008. Its hotels keep the whole place standing: every excess dollar is donated to Ilisaqsivik's charitable operations.
The Story, the Door, the Bank, the Signals
Deeper in the atlas: why this place exists and who governs it (05), the opening now posted at the Open Door (06), what a gift holds up at the Giving Bank (07), and every frequency the Signal House answers on (08), including 107.1 FM and the counsellor line.
"We want Inuit culture and human potential to survive and thrive in our communities, on-the-land and in our language for all future generations and through every phase of life."Ilisaqsivik's purpose, from the Story of the Place
