About Reindeer Station, Northwest Territories

Reindeer Station occupies a solitary stretch of land along the shore of Middle Channel, where the earth rises into the Caribou Hills. It lies 40.0 km north-north-west of Inuvik, NT (from Inuvik, NT: bearing 336°T), and is situated 63.2 km north-east of Aklavik. The low sun casts a long, bruised light across the Mackenzie River, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that holds the silence of the north. Reindeer Station was established to serve as the administrative hub for a government-led project intended to introduce reindeer herding to the region, drawing upon the expertise of Sami herders who brought their distinct way of life to these northern reaches. The land here feels brittle and vast, shaped by a climate that demands resilience from everything that grows or builds upon it. While the corrals and cabins of Reindeer Station have long since surrendered their original purpose to the elements, the site persists as a quiet landmark of a bold, transformative era in the history of the Mackenzie River. The wind carries a sharp, clean clarity that scours the hills, and for those who look closely at the weathered structures, the site reveals the lingering traces of a venture that once sought to harmonize traditional pastoral practices with the stark, imposing geography of the Caribou Hills.
