Kawawachikamach, Naskapi reserved land in Caniapiscau Regional County Municipality, Canada.

Located near Lake Matemace, Kawawachikamach extends over 41 square kilometers of land in northern Quebec, featuring modern residential buildings and community centers.

The Naskapi community moved to this territory in 1981 as part of the Northeastern Quebec Agreement, following decades of relocations across northern regions.

The Naskapi people maintain their traditional Iyiyiw-Imuun language and continue hunting practices while developing contemporary handicraft production in the settlement.

Residents access the community through Schefferville Airport or by taking a train from Sept-Îles to Schefferville, followed by a 15-kilometer road journey.

The settlement operates under a distinct legal classification as both a reserved land and a separate village municipality, each serving different administrative purposes.
