Atikonak

Atikonak lies in the lake country of western Labrador, where rivers wind through forest and plateau towards the Churchill River system. The area around Atikonak and Brûlé lakes offered Innu hunters grounds for woodland caribou and routes between neighbouring watersheds. To the north, Ashuanipi Lake was part of a route towards the Moisie River and the lower north shore of the St Lawrence. Innu families travelled through this interior country, following the seasonal movements of game.
