Early explorers called this settlement "Great Whale'' after the river on whose banks it nestles on the shore of Hudsons Bay, but it is known by two other names. The Cree call it Whapmagoostui and the lnuit call it Kuujjarapik, which is the formal name now adopted by the community. Located 700 miles north of Montreal with no road access, Kuujjarapik depends on Canadian North as its vital link to the outside world.
Dressed for another day in the North is, from left, Elijah Shem, Dillon Salt and Mike Shields.
