Eimastukwek

Elmastukwek is the Mi'kmaq name for the outer Bay of Islands on Newfoundland's west coast. It means going away from the river, describing the journey out from the Humber River into the bay. The great inlet is shaped like a horseshoe, with long arms reaching inland and islands scattered near its mouth. The Humber enters at its eastern end, beneath the forested hills that rise around the sheltered water.
