===North Coast=== From Cape Chidley to [[Hamilton Inlet]], the long, thin, northern tip of Labrador holds the [[Torngat Mountains]], named after an Inuit spirit believed to inhabit them. The mountains stretch along the coast from Port Manvers to [[Cape Chidley]], the northernmost point of Labrador. The Torngat Mountain range is also home to [[Mount Caubvick]], the highest point in the province. This area is predominantly Inuit, with the exception of a small Innu community, [[Natuashish]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Innu of Labrador: From Davis Inlet to Natuashish |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aboriginals/natuashish.html |website=CBC News |access-date=October 16, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041217030423/https://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aboriginals/natuashish.html |archive-date=Dec 17, 2004 |date=December 14, 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/natuashish-struggling-with-the-hangovers-of-old-davis-inlet |title=Natuashish: Struggling with the hangovers of old Davis Inlet |publisher=CBC |date=Feb 8, 2005 |access-date=Oct 16, 2020 |archive-date=March 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318171634/https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/natuashish-struggling-with-the-hangovers-of-old-davis-inlet |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="power">{{cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/hunting-demons/article23331533/ |title=A decade after the people of Davis Inlet were relocated, they are still hunting demons |publisher=The Globe and Mail |date=March 6, 2015 |access-date=Oct 16, 2020 |first=Peter |last=Power |archive-date=August 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815221858/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/hunting-demons/article23331533/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/band-money-fuelling-addictions-sources-1.542082 |title=Band money fuelling addictions: sources |date=Feb 9, 2005 |publisher=CBC News |access-date=Oct 16, 2020 |archive-date=January 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107002923/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/band-money-fuelling-addictions-sources-1.542082 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/labrador-innu-leaders-pocketing-band-money-audit-1.542105 |title=Labrador Innu leaders pocketing band money: audit |date=Oct 26, 2005 |access-date=Oct 16, 2020 |publisher=CBC News |archive-date=January 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107002910/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/labrador-innu-leaders-pocketing-band-money-audit-1.542105 |url-status=live }}</ref> The North Coast is the most isolated region of Labrador, with [[snowmobile]]s, boats, and planes being the only modern modes of transportation.
