Map location of Utshimassits / Davis Inlet (Iluikoyak Island)

"Utshimassits (Davis Inlet) faced especially difficult social problems, many stemming from having been settled in 1969 in an unsuitable location, with an inadequate water supply, on an island from which access to the mainland for hunting was difficult for several months each year." "To address this problem, a federally funded project to relocate the community to the mainland was agreed upon, and in 2002 the new community of Natuashish was established." source
