Native Point

Native Point (Inuktitut: Tunirmiut[2] or Tuneriut) is a peninsula in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada.

Now a notable archeological site, it is referred to as "T1" because of the Inuktitut name, "Tuneriut", for Native Point.

[4] The material culture of the Sadlermiut was limited to chipped stone tools and various manufactured organic artifacts.

Among the artifacts found in the site were human figurines called aarnguaq, which was probably used for a healing ritual.

Merbs and Wilson grouped the burials into three time stages: the "village" graves, which were thought to be the oldest, "peripheral" burials located northeast and southeast of the settlement which were ranked as intermediate in age, and a series of "meat-cache" graves, suggested to primarily represent casualties from the 1902-1903 epidemic which decimated the Sadlermiut population.
