Wabush: Another town that might have an Innu-aimum name is Wabush. Located in the western tip of Labrador, bordering Quebec, according to Wikipedia contributors, Wabush is known for transportation and iron ore operations.

Wabush is believed to come from the Innu-aimun word napush, meaning Arctic hare or perhaps the Naskapi word, waban referring to rabbit ground".

As mentioned earlier Wabush is the twin community of Labrador City. The following comes from Wikipedia:
