Kattimannap Qurlua

Kattimannap Qurlua, Waterfall in the Wilberforce Gorge of the Hood River, Nunavut, Canada

Kattimannap Qurlua is a waterfall of almost 60 metres (200 ft) on the Hood River in Nunavut, Canada, dropping through the Wilberforce Gorge. It is one of the few major waterfalls on the North American mainland north of the Arctic Circle.

The current name was officially established in 2020, replacing the former designation Wilberforce Falls, which honored an English politician. This change marks recognition of the local Inuit language and heritage.

The falls were named for William Wilberforce, the English politician who led the movement to abolish the slave trade. In 2020 the name was changed to Kattimannap Qurlua, an Inuktitut name; the Inuktitut form appears as ᑲᑦᑎᒪᓐᓇᑉ ᖁᕐᓗᐊ.

Kattimannap Qurlua lies in the Wilberforce Gorge of the Hood River, roughly 67°N in mainland Nunavut, well above the Arctic Circle and far from any road or settlement. Access is by air or water along the Hood River, so trips depend on season and weather. Plan for cold, changeable conditions and no facilities at the falls.

The falls were named for William Wilberforce, the English politician who led the campaign to abolish the slave trade; in 2020 the name became Kattimannap Qurlua. The Inuktitut name is rendered ᑲᑦᑎᒪᓐᓇᑉ ᖁᕐᓗᐊ in syllabics.
