Groswater Bay
Introduction '''Groswater Bay''' (Inuttitut: ''Kangerliorsoak''), also known by other names, is a bay in south central Labrador, Canada. Its Hamilton Inlet and Melville Lake extensions stretch  inland.
Names Groswater Bay's name is a compound formed from French  ("fat; thick; course, rough") and English ''water'', reflecting the long history of using the area for fishing. It has also been known as '''Ivucktoke''' or '''Aviktok''' (Inuttitut: ''Aivitok''); '''Eskimo''' or '''Esquimaux Bay''' (, "Bay of the Eskimos"); and '''St Louis Bay''' (). These names are also sometimes extended to Hamilton Inlet and even Lake Melville.
Fauna Many birds nest here, including common eiders.
Legacy The Groswater culture of Paleo-Eskimos is named after Groswater Bay.
