Kivitoo is an abandoned Inuit community and a former whaling station on the northeast shore of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. Kivitoo's Inuit families moved to Qikiqtarjuaq, approximately to the south, in 1963.[1] Kivitoo Memorial Park remains at the southern shore of the hamlet.[2]
In the early 20th century, the Sabellum Trading Company established a post at Kivitoo to service the whalers who would anchor there to flense carcasses. The post was abandoned in 1926.[3]
Kivitoo (qivittu) (FOX-D) is also a former Distant Early Warning Line and is currently a North Warning System site. Because of a nearby small coastal plain, a short airstrip was built during early operation of FOX-D.[4]
The residents of Kivitoo were evacuated to Qikiqtarjuaq in the 1963, purportedly for their safety, after three residents of the community were killed in a collapse of the ice under their igloos.[5] However, the town was never resettled afterward, as the remaining structures in the community had been demolished by authorities by the time residents tried to return.[5]
The evacuation and destruction of Kivitoo is the subject of Zacharias Kunuk's 2018 documentary film .[5]
