A Taste of Canada ~ Caribou

Caribou is an important part of our Northern diet and culture and has been for generations. Most parts of the caribou are eaten, providing us with a rich source of nutrients we need to help build and repair body tissues as well as giving us energy.

A single animal, the caribou, provides a remarkable array of materials used to provide tools, clothing, shelter and crafts, as well as food. There is no waste of the caribou.

In some areas, caribou hunting is managed to help herds continue to recover and increase in size. For that reason, caribou may not be as available to all northerners as in the past. Check with your Local Renewable Resources Offices regarding hunting restrictions in your area.

What do we know about caribou?

Northerners have traditionally relied on caribou as a major food source. Caribou can be eaten raw, frozen, aged, roasted, dried or made into jerky, sausage, roasts and steaks. Smoking or drying helps preserve the meat and increases the amount of nutrients due to moisture loss during the drying process.
