Nunataq - [nuhn-uh-tak] (n.) : A ridge, mountain, or peak within an ice field or glacier. Also called glacial islands. (origin: Inuit language)
Nunataq is grounded in systems thinking
Across the world's mountain ranges, Nunataqs bear evidence of human and animal life on these striking summits amidst the cryosphere of planet earth -- islands of life in a severe and ever-changing environment.
Our namesake honors Arctic & Indigenous mentors who have mentored us from the beginning, and the power of mountain environments to grant a powerful view of life from above. We aim to carry the wisdom shared and clarity granted above in our daily work as citizens in the society below -- to better steward the land and human well-being.
In step with our clients, we draw from traditional and western knowledge to face pressing policy issues and tell powerful stories. In practice, we blend storytelling, science communication, GIS and regional planning science to create better decisions and lasting solutions in a changing world. We work where science and art meet because that's where the good stuff happens.
Founded in 2018 by AICP certified regional planner and award-winning filmmaker Christopher J. Carter, the team at Nunataq is here to listen to your needs and work with you to create exceptional visual and planning solutions.

You will not find a more thoughtful, intelligent, skillful, and caring organization to work with - incredible quality and process while always keeping in perspective how to achieve the work in a way that is both equitable and culturally sensitive.
-Zach Weiss, Elemental Ecosystems
I really liked Nunataq's organization.
Each meeting and phone conversation was well run, summarized and a listing of the next tasks that needed completing. In this way we kept the momentum going. Their enthusiasm and ideas sparked excitement and CJ was willing to hear our input.
-Donna Caruso-Hirst, Glacier Two Medicine Alliance
Nunataq is a pleasure to work with. They bring a high level of enthusiasm and creativity to the work and take the time to understand the content in a deep way that helps develop quality communications materials. They are timely, meet deadlines, and tailor products to meet the exact needs of clients.

Beyond his ability to work in difficult conditions, Nunataq, with CJ at the helm, combines a keen artistic eye with a strong commitment to crafting a final product that works.

There is no-one better to work with on a personal level and who shares the gift of being not only great behind the lens but who can create a storyline and follow it through.
