Tupiluviniq

Tupialuviniq is a place on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay whose Inuit name means “large abandoned tent.” A small stream nearby bears its name as well. Inuit families came to this coast to hunt seals, and accounts of their journeys remember meetings with inland visitors at Tupialuviniq in winter. The coast belongs to a wider region long used by Inuit and Cree, where the waters of Hudson Bay and the rivers of the interior meet.
