"The Community Of Kuujjuarapik", (a.k.a.: Kuujjuaraapik), (Inuktitut: ᑰᔾᔪᐊᕌᐱᒃ: "Little Great River") is the southern-most, northern Inuit village at the mouth of the Great Whale River, on the coast of Hudson Bay, in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. The community is only accessible by air, Kuujjuarapik Airport and in late summer, by boat. The nearest Inuit village is Umiujaq, about 160 km (99 mi) north-northeast of Kuujjuarapik. Although, the permanent cohabitation of Inuit and Cree people at the mouth of the Great Whale River only goes back to the year 1950, the two Peoples were neighnours in this area, for a very long time. Inuit close to the coast and the Cree more in the interior lands. While the Inuit have hunted and fished along the Hudson Bay coast long before the arrival of Europeans, it was not until 1820 when a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) trading post was built there, known variously as Great Whale River House, Great Whale River or just Great Whale. After the Second World War in 1948, the military base was transferred to the Canadian government and in 1955, it began operating a Mid-Canada Line radar station, called: RCAF Station Great Whale River. Though the radar station was not operational for long and closed in 1965, it established the village permanently. Of Nunavik’s 14 northern villages, Kuujjuarapik is the most southeastern one. The people in the community ..mostly speak Inuktitut, followed by English. Kuujjuarapik means: "Little Great River" in Inuktitut, the Inuit language.
