Kangiqsujuaq is an Inuit community in Nunavik, Nord-du-Quebec, Quebec, Canada. It had a population of 552 in 2006. The community has also been known as Wakeham Bay. The name “Kangiqsujuaq” means “the large bay” in Inuktitut. It is located on the Ungava Peninsula, on the Cap du Prince-de-Galles on the Hudson Strait. Municipally, it is a Nordic village with an attached Inuit reserved territory, and is part of the Kativik Regional Administration.
During winter, when the tides are extremely low, local Inuit sometimes climb beneath the shifting sea ice to gather mussels. They break holes in the ice and then can walk for a short time on the exposed sea bed and collect this food. This risky way of gathering the mussels goes back for generations.
