Ihalmiut

The Ihalmiut ᐃᓴᓪᒥᐅᑦ [ihalmiˈut] ("People from Beyond") or Ahiarmiut ("the Out-of-the-Way Dwellers") are a group of inland Inuit who lived along the banks of the Kazan River,Ennadai Lake Little Dubawnt Lake (renamed Kamilikuak), and north of Thlewiaza ("Big River") in northern Canada's Keewatin Region of the Northwest Territories, now the Kivalliq Region ("Barren Lands") of present-day Nunavut. Ihalmiut were Caribou Inuit, inland-dwelling people in the Barren Lands region whose subsistence centered on hunting barren-ground caribou. Ihalmiut survival through dark Arctic winters on a diet centered on dried caribou meat, and when it was gone, hunting for ptarmigan (Nunavut's official bird), until the spring return of caribou.

The Ihalmiut's first encounter with Caucasians, called Qaplunaat (ᖃᑉᓗᓈᑦ [qapluˈnaːt]) in the Inuktitut language, occurred during the Barren Lands expeditions of 1893 and 1894 by the Geological Survey of Canada, led by Joseph Tyrrell.

By 1934, Ihalmiut numbered 80, with 11 considered as heads of families. Their contact with Europeans was limited, but included Hudson's Bay Company's post managers, at the company's Windy Post, located in 1936 on a portion of Windy River called Simmons Lake, and later moved to Nueltin Lake. Ihalmiut traded their outer parkas, deerskin boots, and fur pelts at the post for guns, ammunition, and tea. Chipewyan and Metis traded here, too.
