Kangiryuarmiut

The Kangiryuarmiut (or Kanhiryuarmiut; or Kanhiryiirmiut) were a Copper Inuit subgroup. They were located on Victoria Island in the areas of Prince Albert Sound, Cape Baring, and central Victoria island. They were also found around Nelson Head on Banks Island. Kangiryuarmiut subsisted on bear. They were the only Copper Inuit who built iglooit on land. The Kangiryuarmiut speak the Kangiryuarmiutun subdialect of Inuinnaqtun dialect of Inuvialuktun language.

The Kangiryuarmiut and the Kangiryuatjagmiut of Minto Inlet were the northernmost Copper Inuit. They migrated seasonally in western Victoria Island, Banks Island, and the mainland around Kugluktuk, Nunavut. Prior to white contact, and prior to the introduction of schooners, they migrated usually by foot, developing what Nuttall referred to as an "embodied memoryscape", meaning that people knew place names along the route, the accompanying stories, and the collective significance with relational understanding of locations. According to Helen Balanoff from the NWT Literacy Council and Cynthia Chambers from the University of Lethbridge, this knowledge is integral to social identity and Inuinnaqtun literacy.
