‘We’re very, very worried. And we’re outraged that Quebec still wants to continue the sports hunt.’

the vicepresident of resource development at Makivik Corp., the organization that represents Inuit in Quebec, tells the Nunatsiaq News how his people feel about the province’s plan not to close the sports hunt of the Leaf River caribou herd for another year, even after it called a drop in the animal’s population “worrying.” A 2016 survey estimated there were 199,000 animals in the herd, down from 430,000 in 2011.
