"The Whapmagoostui Cree Nation", (Cree: ᐙᐱᒫᑯᔥᑐᐃ, Wâpimâkuštui: "Place Of The Beluga") is the northernmost Cree village in Quebec, Canada, located at the mouth of the Great Whale River (French: Grande Rivière de la Baleine), on the coast of Hudson Bay, in Nunavik. There are about 906 Cree people living in the community, with about 650 Inuit people living in the neighbouring village of Kuujjuarapik. The community is accessible only by air (Kuujjuarapik Airport) and.. in late summer, by boat. Whapmagoostui is about 250 km (160 mi) north of the nearest Cree village, Chisasibi. Although, the permanent cohabitation of Inuit and Cree people at the mouth of the Great Whale River goes back only, to 1950, the two Nations were in the area for a very long time,with the Inuit people, close to the coast and the Cree people, more in the interior. The village was settled on territory, originally named, Fort Richmond. The settlement's first official name was Poste-de-la-Baleine. On June 28th 1978, the Cree Village Municipality of Poste-de-la-Baleine was officially established. On May 8th 1996, the Cree village was then officially renamed Whapmagoostui, from then on replacing all other toponyms.
