A few years back, the Porcupine Caribou Management Board produced the cookbook Vadzaih: cooking caribou from antler to hoof, mixing traditional and new recipes. With folks out filling their freezers this fall, we wanted to re-share the cookbook. Do you have a favourite part of the tuttu to eat, or recipe? We'd love to hear. In the third photo, Aullaviat/Anguniarvik Program Coordinator Samuel shows off a delicacy: the stomach fat.

Earlier this year, WMAC NS and the Aullaviat Anguniarvik Working Group hosted a Digital Storytelling workshop in Aklavik. The workshop supported participants in sharing their relationship to caribou. The photos share quotes from future leaders in Aklavik. To watch the full stories, visit www.aklavikdigitalstories.ca.

We're so glad to hear the caribou are close to Aklavik this fall. As you head out to harvest this weekend, please remember to keep track of your harvest. so you can participate in harvest reporting this December. Gathering complete harvest information across the Herd’s range supports the Porcupine Caribou Management Board and co-management partners in implementing the Harvest Management Plan and stewarding the Herd today and for future generations.

Porcupine caribou harvesters! Please remember to track your harvest as you head out on the land this fall.

The Inuvialuit Game Council and Hunters and Trappers Committees are working together to collect critical harvest information for the herd. Gathering harvest information helps management partners support a the herd and the communities who rely on the caribou, today and in the future.
