Shabogamo

Shabogamo lies in the western Labrador lake country, where the river of that name drains towards the Ashuanipi. A narrow passage joins Shabogamo Lake to Wabush Lake upstream, amid forests and low plateau. The neighbouring Ashuanipi waters formed part of routes used by Innu travellers between the interior and the St Lawrence region. Families moved through this country to hunt caribou and fish, carrying canoes over portages where rapids or the divides between waters made passage difficult.
