Tessuialluk

Tessuialluk is a lake near the indented coast of Labrador, west of the waters around Jeanette Bay. The surrounding country lies along a shore where Inuit place names recorded landmarks, hunting places and routes. By the eighteenth century, Inuit travelled between northern and southern Labrador and traded with European visitors; sealskins, oil and baleen were among the goods that passed through these coastal exchanges. The lake belongs to a landscape of bays, islands and inland waters known by generations of travellers.
