Another local specialty is muktuk, which is whale blubber. It is served raw, in small cubes that the local people savor as a delicacy, although my taste buds vehemently disagree. We are, however, regaled by local dancers and drummers. The biggest event in Inuvik is a yearly, two week long Northern Arts Festival in July. Artists from all over the Arctic conduct workshops, display and sell paintings, rock sculptures, beaded clothing and jewelry.
Native groups perform traditional songs and dances alongside Inuit rock n' roll bands.
