Distribution and Numbers of the Kaminuriak
ABSTRACT. The distribution and abundance of the Kaminuriak caribou herd were documented through an aerial survey conducted in March and April 1977. It appears that the herd altered its traditional migration patterns and abandoned its southern wintering grounds in this year at least. The size of the...

Available data, though limited, suggest that the maximum allowable harvest of 5 % of the herd has been exceeded in recent years.
