Kasakaupuyau

Kasakaupuyau is a long lake in the Caniapiscau country, its Naskapi name describing a narrow, brushy place. Other names recall fishing from its shores: the Naskapi also call it Waapinikuskaan, the lake where one fishes at dawn, while the Inuit name Irqasarvik refers to fishing with a line. The lake drains into the Caniapiscau River and lies along an inland route used by Naskapi travellers.
