Salluit stands at the far end of the narrow Sugluk Inlet, 10 km inland from the Hudson Strait, hidden between high, rugged mountains rising close to 500 m. Salluit, being the middle point between Nunavik's 14 communities, is a strategic location for meetings attended by people of the Hudson and Ungava coasts. Though the village's name suggests that it has not always been the case, the area is rich in wildlife and arctic plants.
