Ivvavik National Park, in the far northwest of Yukon above the Arctic Circle, takes its name from the Inuvialuktun word for “a place for giving birth, a nursery.” It was the first national park in Canada created through an Indigenous land claim agreement, the Inuvialuit Final Agreement of 1984, and it protects part of the calving grounds of the Porcupine caribou herd.
