Pond Inlet had raised concerns Baffinland contracted article that seemed to "reduce traditional knowledge or "Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit" (IQ) to static data". QIA conducted interviews with 35 Pond Inlet residents on "how they live their daily life, including where they hunt, fish and just enjoy the outdoors" and used Google Earth mapping to "mark hunting routes, burial sites and other areas of importance to the community".
