Katataskatikw

Katataskatikw lies in the interior of the Labrador Peninsula, a country of lakes, rivers and rocky ridges between the Labrador coast and Ungava Bay. Innu-speaking Naskapi families travelled this land in small bands, following caribou herds through the seasons and hunting smaller game, birds and fish. Their movements followed the freezing and thawing of lakes and rivers. From 1830 the Hudson's Bay Company operated Fort Chimo on Ungava Bay, and its traders began to send goods and collect furs along inland routes.
