Created in 1982, the BQCMB was the first caribou co­-management board in North America. The Board provides a way to deal with the multi‐jurisdictional nature of the caribou herds and the multiple cultures of the people who depend on them while including Indigenous peoples in decision‐making processes.

During the rest of the year the herds are usually apart, with the Qamanirjuaq herd mainly in the southern Kivalliq region of Nunavut along and inland from Hudson Bay, and the Beverly herd using range in NWT and Nunavut to the west and northwest of Qamanirjuaq range.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
