Misinichikw

Misinichikw Sipi, the River of the Great Otter, is the Naskapi name for a tributary of the Caniapiscau in the northern interior. It takes its name from a giant otter of Naskapi tradition, said to have lived in a cave or hole near Eaton Canyon. Innu tradition likewise associates the river with the great otter. Flowing through a country of lakes and rocky valleys, its waters join the Caniapiscau on the way towards Ungava Bay.
