Baker Lake, Nunavut
Baker Lake (Qamani'tuaq ("where the river widens"); Inuktitut syllabics: ᖃᒪᓂᑦᑐᐊᖅ, "big lake joined by a river at both ends"), is a hamlet in the Kivalliq Region, in Nunavut on mainland Canada. Located inland from Hudson Bay, it is near the nation's geographical centre, and is notable for being the Canadian Arctic's sole inland community.〔 The hamlet is located at the mouth of the Thelon River on the shore of Baker Lake. The community was given its English name in 1761 from Captain William Christopher who named it after Sir William Baker 11th Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sandy Lunan, Hudson's Bay Co.

== History ==
In 1916, the Hudson's Bay Company established a trading post at Baker Lake, followed by Anglican missionaries in 1927. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been in the area for fifteen years before establishing a post at Baker Lake in 1930. In 1946 the population was 32, of which 25 were Inuit.〔 A small hospital was built in 1957, followed by a regional school the next year.
Videos of elders sharing oral histories have been collected by Inuit students as part of the Nunavut Teacher Education Program.〔(Elder's Stories in Baker Lake, Nunavut )〕
