Kausseskait

Kausseskait is a lake in the interior of the Labrador Peninsula, on the waters that feed the George River and flow north to Ungava Bay. Its Naskapi name means “where there are pines,” although pine trees are scarce in this northern country. The lake lies within a vast region of rivers and uplands traversed by Innu hunters, who followed caribou through the George River basin and travelled between the interior and the coast.
