Akami-Uapishkᵘ-KakKasuak-Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve

The park encompasses 10,700 square kilometers of boreal forest, tundra, and 50 kilometers of shoreline along the Labrador Sea and Lake Melville.

The park reserve was established in 2015 after extensive negotiations between the Canadian government and indigenous communities regarding land claims and traditional rights.

The name combines Innu term Akami-Uapishkᵘ meaning White Mountain and Labrador Inuit term KakKasuak meaning mountain, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the area.

Registration with Parks Canada is mandatory before visiting, as the park features limited infrastructure and restricted search and rescue services.

The park allows indigenous communities to continue traditional activities like hunting, trapping, fishing, and wood gathering, which are typically restricted in other national parks.
