Ulukhaktok
Ulukhaktok (traditional spelling Ulukhaqtuuq and known until 1 April 2006 as Holman) is a small hamlet on the west coast of Victoria Island, in the Inuvik Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Like other small traditional communities in the territories, hunting, trapping, and fishing are major sources of income, but printmaking has taken over as the primary source of income in recent years.
The two principal languages in Ulukhaktok are the Kangiryuarmiutun dialect of Inuinnaqtun, which is politically part of the Inuvialuktun group, and English.
History
The first people to settle in the area were Natkusiak and his family in 1937. Two years later, the Hudson's Bay Company relocated from Walker Bay and a Roman Catholic mission was opened the same year.
The English name, Holman, was in honour of J.R. Holman, a member of Sir Edward Augustus Inglefield's 1853 expedition in search for the Arctic explorer, John Franklin. The community was sometimes known as Holman Island. This, however, is the name of the small island outcrop to the east-southeast in the Amundsen Gulf.

Walk Away
by: TcOh don't slip, don't fall
I'll never hurt you like that
I don't wanna see no tear drops on the floor again
Oh so many broken pieces of your heart to mend
So many times he lied and left you with no reason
Now every moment leaves you thinking of the end
Lost in the circle spinning, nothing to believe in
If you're in danger I'll save you
Lost, I'll come find you
I'm not gonna leave you
I'll never walk away no
If you're falling I'll catch you
Put my arms out to hold you
[? ] to shield you
I'll never walk away no
I'll never walk away no
(I'll never walk away no)
Don't sleep, open your eyes
And know that I'm standing here
You've been crying too long
My arms are home
[? ]
Oh so many broken pieces of your heart to mend
So many times he lied and left you with no reason
Now every moment leaves you thinking of the end
Lost in the circle spinning, nothing to believe in
If you're in danger I'll save you
Lost, I'll come find you
I'm not gonna leave you
I'll never walk away no
If you're falling I'll catch you
Put my arms out to hold you
[? ] to shield you
I'll never walk away no
I'll never walk away no
I'll never walk away no
(Lost, I'll come find you)
(I'll never walk away no)
(My arms out to hold you)
(I'll never walk away no)
Anywhere you go I'll be waiting for you
And every step you can't take
I'll be there to carry you
If you're in danger I'll save you
Lost, I'll come find you
I'm not gonna leave you
I'll never walk away no
If you're falling I'll catch you
Put my arms out to hold you
[? ] to shield you
I'll never walk away no
I'll never walk away no
If you're in danger I'll save you
Lost, I'll come find you
I'm not gonna leave you
I'll never walk away no
If you're falling I'll catch you
Put my arms out to hold you
[? ] to shield you
