Kazan River
The Kazan River (Inuktitut ''Harvaqtuuq'',〔(Harvaqtuurmiut : The Heritage of the Inuit of the Lower Kazan River )〕 Inuktitut syllabics ᓴᕐᕙᖅᑑᖅ;〔(Kitikmeot Heritage Centre )〕 meaning "strong rapids",〔(Tuhaalruuqtut, Ancestral Sounds )〕 "the big drift"〔 or "place of much fast flowing water"〔), is a Canadian Heritage River located in Nunavut, Canada. The river rises in northern Saskatchewan〔("Nunavut: Heritage Rivers" ) ''The Atlas of Canada''〕 and flows north for about 〔 before emptying into Baker Lake (), on the opposite side of the mouth of the Thelon River. Along its course the river flows through several lakes, including Ennadai Lake and Yathkyed Lake, over the Kazan Falls (), down a red sandstone gorge〔 and through both boreal forest and tundra. It is the last section of the river, below Ennadai Lake, that is above the timber line and is designated a Canadian Heritage River.
==Fauna and flora==
Although many species of wildlife may be observed along the river, it is the barren-ground caribou (Qamanirjuaq and Beverly herds) for which it is most well known. Over 300,000 caribou migrate through the area and it is said to be the largest migration of any land animal. Other wildlife that may be observed in the area include muskox, wolverine, peregrine falcon and many species of fish.
