context_page_description: The Little Whale River is a river in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. With an area of 15,900 square kilometres, it is ranked as the 35th largest river basin in Quebec.
  The Cree named a segment of the Little Whale River near its mouth as Wâpamekustus, which is similar to what Isbister noted in 1740. The Inuit call it Qilalugarsiuviup Kuunga, which means "river or place where beluga is hunted".
  Its name has often been wrongly translated into French as Rivière de la Petite Baleine.
