The Naskapi village of Kawawachikamach is located far inland in the forest-tundra, away from any coastline. Subsistence-based activities are still an important part of the Naskapi lifestyle. Caribou, freshwater fish, small game and wildfowl are harvested by community members. The Naskapis that now live in the community of Kawawachikamach were relocated numerous times during their history. In the first half of the 20^th century, they first moved from Fort Chimo (now Kuujjuaq) to Fort McKenzie in 1915, then back to Fort Chimo in 1948, and finally from there to Schefferville in 1956 (Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, 2005) . Once in Schefferville, the Naskapis moved several times around the area until the majority of the Naskapis voted for the relocation to the present site in 1980. The Fort McKenzie area is however still considered a traditional hunting ground by the Naskapi elders. There are now about 540 inhabitants in Kawawachikamach (Statistics Canada, 2001), the vast majority of which are Naskapis.
