Description
...Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (summer 2006). Most of the North American waterfalls we photograph have been given western names during the past few centuries, even though many of them were probably referred to by several different names by Native Americans prior to and after initial European contact. This eight-foot waterfall, near Saglek Bay on the coast of northern Labrador, has no name which appears on contemporary maps. Upon viewing it, I wondered how it had been mapped and referred to by the Dorset Palaeoeskimo and later Thule communities which may have experienced it long ago.
