In July of 2007 a North American team of four paddlers
traveled along the Kuuvik River through the Arctic wilderness of Nunavik, Quebec, Canada.
After paddling the full-length of the Kuuvik River, known to Canadian colonial administrators
as the Larch River, the team arrived at the modern Inuit settlement of Kuujjuaq, near the shores
of Ungava Bay. Supported by forty institutional sponsors, the canoe trippers succeeded in
tracing a voyageur route that was mapped in the summer of 1896 by Mr. A.P. Low, one of
Canada’s greatest explorers.
