Quaqtaq protests beluga harvest quota
Students from Isummasaqvik School in Quaqtaq joined a protest on the morning of Friday, Nov. 15 at the community’s shore, against the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ beluga harvest quotas, which has long been controversial in Nunavik. Protesters mobilized on Facebook and posted photos and video from the day that show more than 20 people congregating. One protester’s sign reads: Quotas=Hunger, Belugas=Food Security, Beluga Hunt=Community. (Courtesy Mae Tukkiapik Aloupa)
Shoot everything in site and blame the Qallunak later
How do YOU harvest your food? At the till?
It was the decision of Nunavik not DFO. Get some facts and stop blaming others.

Common spelling mistake; ‘then’. If we were to correctly read their poster, it would be in terms of priority; they like muktaaq first, and then chicken second.
Indictment of the education system!
The sign reads as though you prefer to eat maktaaq, followed by some chicken.
Buffalo wings sounds good
I too prefer Mattaq than Chicken…Caribou stew too?
These are my future little role models who will grow up to be whalers and make misirak, I PREFER MISIRAQ THAN BUTTER LOL… you can’t correct that idiots! I stand with Quaqtamiut!!!
I prefer marijuana than cigarette.
