Kutapusku'j

Kutapsku'j is a Mi'kmaq name recorded for Barachois in the St George's Bay region of western Newfoundland. Along this coast, shallow waters lie behind banks of sand and gravel, while brooks provide routes inland through the forest. Mi'kmaq families travelled to the region to hunt, fish and trap, and were present around St George's and Barachois Brook in the eighteenth century. The streams leading from the bay offered several ways into the interior.
