After the construction of the hydroelectric dam at Churchill Falls in 1970, the [[Smallwood Reservoir]] has flooded much of the old hunting land—submerging several grave sites and trapping cabins in the process.<ref>{{cite web |title=Churchill River |url=http://www.cangeoeducation.ca/resources/rivers_of_canada/churchill_river/default.asp |website=Canadian Geographic Education |access-date=21 July 2019 |archive-date=1 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200201124628/http://www.cangeoeducation.ca/resources/rivers_of_canada/churchill_river/default.asp |url-status=dead}}</ref> Western Labrador is also home to the [[Iron Ore Company of Canada]], which operates a large iron ore mine in [[Labrador City]].
