Here are the knowledgeable Elders (AKA the Big Bosses) who helped guide our design process for the Kuugalak Project in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Our scope represents custom interior and exterior designs that are relevant to Inuinnait culture in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, but this overall project represents a larger initiative of research and design in the Arctic. VRA feels very fortunate to learn from and collaborate with these important community members.
