Answer» What is Akulivik mean? Akulivik (Inuktitut: ᐊᑯᓕᕕᒃ) (2016 population 633) is an Inuit village in Nunavik, in northern Quebec, Canada. It is located on a peninsula that juts southwesterly into Hudson Bay across from [[Smith Island (Hudson Bay, Nunavut), Nunavut|Smith Island]] (Qikirtajuaq). Akulivik lies 1,850 km north of Montreal. Akulivik, meaning "central prong of a kakivak" in the Nunavik dialect of Inuktitut, takes its name from the surrounding geography. Located on a peninsula between two bays, the area evokes the shape of a kakivak, a traditional, trident-shaped spear used for fishing. Telephone and internet services are delivered by satellite. There is no hospital, but a clinic staffed by nurses provides non-critical care; otherwise air ambulances are available. Policing is done by the Kativik Regional Police Force. reference
