Wayustikw

Wayustikw is a deeply cut river of the northern interior, broken by rapids as it flows east into Lake Cambrien, a widening of the Caniapiscau. Its Naskapi name means the Fat River, a reference to the good, fatty fish found in its waters. The Caniapiscau carries the river's flow north towards the Koksoak and Ungava Bay, through a landscape of lakes and rocky valleys known to generations of Naskapi travellers.
