Kawawasukutisich

Kawawasukutisich is a Naskapi name for a lake in the northern Labrador Peninsula. The lake lies in an interior country of countless lakes, rivers and low hills, far from the shores of Ungava Bay. Waterways and the land between them were familiar parts of Naskapi country, traversed by people whose livelihoods followed the seasonal movements of caribou and other animals. The name preserves a local understanding of this northern landscape.
