Abstract
My experience as an Inuk graduate student working in my hometown has taught me many lessons. It is not as simple as being Indigenous to be able to do good research in the Arctic. There are also risks taken when we decide to work in the same place that we grew up. In this chapter, I discuss doing marine mammal research in my home community of Iqaluit, Nunavut and reflect on what it is like to conduct fieldwork in the Arctic as an Inuk researcher.
