Talk:Ukkusiksalik National Park/rough translation from deWP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The park was established on August 23, 2003 as the fourth in Nunavut territory (Canada). It extends south of the Arctic Circle and the hamlet of Repulse Bay, from Hudson Bay's Roes Welcome Sound towards the western Barrenlands ['Barren Lands' vs 'Barrenlands' see e.g. Ihalmiut; Farley Mowat (author of "People of the Deer" and other reports on Inland Inuit) always writes "Barrenlands"] and the source of Brown River. Although being the smallest national park of Nunavut, it is the sixth by size of Canada's more than 40 national parks. Its name relates to steatite found there: Ukkusiksalik means "where there is material for the stone pot" (from ukkusik, meaning pot or saucepan like qulliq).
