Northern sub-arctic Canada is abundant with minerals, the main one being Iron Ore. For years the Canadian government have allowed an almost unregulated mining industry, leaving the ground deeply wounded and the local communities struggling.

​

UMAGUTI, the Innu word for "Where There's Life", offers to use the existing terrace topography of abandoned mines to inhabit a sustainable arctic-farm, with a visitor's center and research facilities, and allow the local communities to grow, develop and prosper through the healed wounds.
