The narwhal is found in the northern
part of the eastern Canadian Arctic — but not in Hudson Bay or along the
southern Labrador coast. In northern Baffin Island, narwhal meat is an important
dog food. The skin of the narwhal is an Inuit delicacy and its tusk is esteemed
for its commercial value and as a raw material for making tools.
