Labrador Highlands

The Labrador Highlands rise inland from Lake Melville, a country of rocky uplands, forests and cold lakes. The Red Wine Mountains, known to the Innu as Penipuapishku, stand in a region important to caribou and to the people who hunted them. Innu families travelled through the interior between hunting grounds and the waters leading to Lake Melville. Their routes followed the movement of animals and the changing seasons across a landscape remembered through its own place names.
