The Federal Hostel at Port Harrison was located in the community of Inukjuak, also known as Port Harrison, at the mouth of the Rivière Innuksuac on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay. The hostel operated from 1960 - 1971 with no religious affiliation.

The hostel was also known by the following name - Port Harrison Federal Day School and Hostels.

The Government of Canada was responsible for funding the hostel, which was managed and operated solely by the federal government until the administration’s transfer under a joint school administration with the Commission Scolaire du Nouveau Quebec on September 1, 1972.

A memorandum dated November 16, 1961, from C.M. Bolger, Administrator of the Arctic, states, “....there are now two small hostels in operation at Port Harrison. The one in the permanent hospital building contains eight children while the one operating temporarily in the school complex accommodates only six children.”

A report dated October 17, 1967 states, “in Inoucdjouac the present enrolment is 85. There are three classrooms available. One standard classroom which was constructed in 1949, can accommodate comfortably an enrolment of 25. One is a standard classroom in the school complex which can accommodate another 25. The third classroom is a renovated warehouse which should not have an enrolment of over 15 pupils. The present enrolment in these classrooms is 29, 30 and 26 respectively. This means that in the renovated warehouse there must scarcely be standing room for the 26 pupils…the situation is now critical.”
