Covering an area of ​​approximately 500 km², Nunavik is located in Nord-du-Québec and designates a socio-cultural region populated mainly by Inuit (nearly 000), spread over fourteen villages distributed along the coast grouped into three distinct bands: Tarramiut "people of the shady side" NW of Ungava bay, Siquinirmiut "people of the sunny side SE of Ungava bay and Itivimiut" people of the other side "east coast of Ungava bay Hudson. Nunavik, a subarctic region north of the 11th parallel almost as large as France, is part of the barren (tundra) or partially shrub (taiga) Canadian Shield and is crossed, in the Ungava Peninsula, by the northern limit of trees and by that of continuous permafrost. It is abundantly watered by countless lakes and rivers that flow either into Ungava Bay or Hudson Bay. Nunavik has 000 of the 55 regions recognized by the province of Quebec, c each has its own unique geology, topography, climate, fauna and flora. The new name Nunavik, formed from the words nuna and vik, literally means the land in which to live. The creation of Nunavik has an important psychological impact since, overnight, the Nunavimmiut exchanged the status of minority within Quebec and Canada for that of majority people within Nunavik. Quebec has the largest Inuit community: some 20 Inuit (and a thousand non-Aboriginals) live in some fifteen northern villages, scattered on the coasts of Ungava Bay and the Hudson Bay. In order to facilitate consultation, two alphabet books have been created. The first concerns only the names of places sometimes grouped together under a single term; example, under the heading NORDIC VILLAGES, the villages of Nunavik appear in alphabetical order, the same for LACS and RIVIÈRES NORDIQUES. The second concerns the proper names of characters (HUDSON Henry etc) and common common names; example GEOLOGY, VEGETATION. Follow the link below
