Kangiqsualujjuaq is the easternmost village of Nunavik. The surroundings of Kangiqsualujjuaq are full of natural attractions and are the calving ground of the George River herd.

Well-known as simply George River, Kangiqsualujjuaq did not really develop as a village before the early 1960. In 1959, local Inuit established, on their own initiative, the first co-operative in Northern Quebec for the purpose of marketing.
