Nipissu

Nipissu is an Innu name for a lake south of the great river Mishta-shipu in the Labrador interior. Its outlet runs north to the river, through a country of forest, lakes and streams. Innu families travelled and hunted in the broad territory between Nipissu and the headwaters of the Eagle River, farther to the southeast. The lake was one of the places known to people whose seasonal journeys joined fishing waters with inland hunting grounds.
