Biographical history

David Pelly was born on June 19, 1948 in Toronto, Ontario. He obtained his BSc in Math and Physics from Royal Military College and a BA in Canadian Studies at the University of Toronto. He came north in 1977 to travel, which led to contact with and an interest in the people, culture and history of the land. He has visited almost every community in Nunavut, however, his research has concentrated on the Keewatin (Kivalliq) and Kitikmeot Regions. David Pelly received funding from Parks Canada to do an oral history project on the Wager Bay region. He interviewed residents of Chesterfield Inlet, Coral Harbour, Rankin Inlet and Repulse Bay. Between 1995-96, he initiated a project to record oral histories with the elders in Cambridge Bay (Mount Pelly Territorial Park Project).
