Arviat is an Inuit community formerly called Eskimo Point. Arviat is located on the western shore of Hudson Bay in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Canada. Arviat ("place of the bowhead whale") is derived from the Inuktitut word "arviq" meaning "Bowhead Whale."
Baker Lake is an Inuit community located further north, about 200 miles inland from Hudson Bay, at the mouth of the Thelon River. It is known as "Qamaniण8364;™tuaq" by the Inuit, which means "where the river widens."
