Notes

Kitigaaryuit is the name of an area (ca 5 km2) at the mouth of the East Channel of the Mackenzie River that was the gathering place of the Kitigaaryungmiut. The Kitigaaryungmiut are a band of Inuvialuit (Mackenzie Inuit) whose name was derived from that place. Non-Inuvialuit who could not pronounce the name called it Kittigazuit. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/kitigaaryuit-kittigazuit
