Chesterfield Inlet, known as Igluligaarjuk in Inuktitut meaning "place with few Thule houses," is the oldest established community in Nunavut, located on the western shore of Hudson Bay in the Kivalliq region. Historically a gathering place for Inuit seal hunters, it became a significant hub for European explorers and whalers in the 18th century. Established as a Hudson's Bay Company post in 1911, the community also hosted the region's largest Roman Catholic mission and served as a central point for medical and educational services.

​Coral Harbour, known as Salliq in Inuktitut meaning "large flat island in front of the mainland," is a hamlet located on Southampton Island in Nunavut's Kivalliq Region. The community's English name derives from the fossilized coral found in its adjacent waters. The local economy combines traditional subsistence hunting with wage-based activities, and the area is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including walruses, polar bears, and various bird species, making it a notable destination for ecotourism.

Naujaat, meaning "seagull nesting place" in Inuktitut, is an Inuit hamlet located precisely on the Arctic Circle in Nunavut's Kivalliq Region. Situated on the northwestern shore of Hudson Bay near Foxe Basin, the community is renowned for its dramatic bird cliffs, rolling hills, and numerous small lakes. Historically known as Repulse Bay until its official renaming on July 2, 2015, Naujaat has a rich history involving early European exploration and whaling activities in the 18th and 19th centuries.
