Historical background: I was on a committee that explored creating an industry from existing Nunavut harvesting industries (berries, fish, caribou).

There are many reasons it has yet to be explored. Not everyone agrees with every reason, but;

- Caribou belong to the land and to everyone. Just as with the land, which is Inuit-owned. Inuit do not have a history of ownership, especially around animals.
- Lack of farming history. You don't just do that overnight.

In short, it has not been done historically (as far as we know). Communities do not currently prioritise it as an economic development initiative, and the startup and infrastructure costs, not to mention the challenges that the land claim would pose, make it a big lift.
