Nattilik Heritage Centre is a museum in Gjoa Haven, King William Island, Nunavut, Canada. It presents the history and culture of the local Inuit.
Franklin's lost expedition
As the nearest Inuit settlement to the Wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site, it is proposed to expand the centre to include the history of the lost expedition of Sir John Franklin, as well as artefacts from the wrecks of the expedition's ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, under an Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement based on the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement with the Inuit to give them the ownership of archaeological sites and artifacts within Nunavut's boundaries.[3][4][5][6]
