Kuujjuarapik (Inuit reserved land)
Kuujjuarapik (Inuktitut: ᑰᔾᔪᐊᕌᐱᒃ) is an Inuit reserved land (Category I land for Inuit) in Nunavik, in northern Quebec. Like all Inuit reserved lands in Quebec, it has no resident population (as of the Canada 2011 Census and previous censuses) and has a counterpart northern village of the same name: Kuujjuarapik.
