Created by the curl of the Kent Peninsula on the Central Canadian Arctic coast, Elu Inlet is a unique region of the Arctic that has been used by the Inuit people since time immemorial. Compared to the Arctic Islands, this region is well sheltered with numerous bays, and it boasts relatively moderate seasons. This, combined with very rich wildlife resources (ranging from lakes and rivers teeming with fish to abundant caribou and musk oxen) made it a prime area for the Inuit subsistence lifestyle.

The lake systems on the narrow ithsmus joining the Kent Peninsula to the mainland also form a natural portage between Elu Inlet and Melville Sound to the west, and Queen Maud Gulf to the east. The attractiveness of the Elu Inlet area is evidenced by the numerous tent rings, fire pits, stone fox traps, kayak stands and other archaeological features left over centuries of use by the Inuit people.
