Ennadai
Ennadai is an area on Lake Ennadai where a group of Ahiarmiut belonging to the Caribou Inuit had lived as hunters and owned their camps for many generations until Canadian authorities forced them to leave the ancestral area in May 1957 .
Lake Ennadai is located at the southern end of the former settlement area of the Karibu or Inland Inuit, which extends northwards to the Thelon River and Baker Lake over the Barrenlands and is traversed by the Kazan River . There are hardly any traces of Ahiarmiut left.
There is currently a fishing lodge on Lake Ennadai, the "Ennadai Lodge". The closest settlement is Arviat .
