The nineteenth century whalers seldom penetrated as far east as Amundsen Gulf, consequently the explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson was the first qallunaaq, or white man, to visit the Copper Inuit people on the west side of Victoria Island, in 1911. The permanent community formed around a trading post, established in 1939, to capitalize on a then-booming arctic fox fur trapping industry.
Father Henri Tardi came to Holman, from France, as an Oblate missionary in 1949, and taught the skills of printmaking. Holman is now famous for its Inuit print artists and their work.
With a population of approximately 460 people, Holman boasts a top quality nine-hole public golf course. Local guides can help you also enjoy naturalist expeditions, top quality sport fishing for arctic char and lake trout, and sports hunts.
