General presentation
Kinngait
Dorset Island community recognized worldwide for Inuit prints and sculpture, surrounded by rocky hills and sea.
To understand what Kinngait is, you must look to Kinngait, Anglican Church of Kinngait and Mallikjuaq Thule Site. These places give you a view of a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Kinngait
Kinngait is an artistic community built among the granite hills of Dorset Island. Its print and sculpture workshops link internationally known Inuit works to the landscape and artists who still create them today.
Church
Église anglicane de Kinngait
The small Anglican church stands out among the low houses and granite hills of Kinngait. Its familiar silhouette brings an intimate landmark in the landscape and tells part of the spiritual life of the community.
Place indismissible
Site thulé de Mallikjuaq
On Mallikjuaq Island, tent circles, caches and remains of stone preserve the traces of several ancient Inuit cultures. Kinngait allows us to read these discreet forms without detaching them from the narratives and landscape that give them meaning.
