We thank you for your comment. The Museum makes every effort to ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible however some errors can occur. Opinions vary as to the definition of the term Nunavik. Some have adopted the well-known definition "the place where we live". For others the term refers to a "vast territory but with the pending notion of a place favorable to inhabitation". The term Iluilik is synonymous to Nunavik but without the idea of a place favorable to inhabitation

Nunavik doesn't mean "Where we live" it means Inland and the coast is Iluilik.
