Nueltin Lake, from the Chipewyan nu-thel-tin-tu-ch-eh, meaning "sleeping island lake", straddles the Manitoba-Nunavut border in Canada. The lake, which has an area of 1,851 km², is predominantly in Nunavut's Kivalliq Region, and on the Manitoba size there is the Nueltin Lake Airport which serves the fishing lodge. The lake is split into two parts by a set of narrows.12

In 1949, the Government of Canada relocated an Inuit group, the Ihalmiut, to Nueltin from Ennadai Lake but the hunting was poor and they did not stay in the area.3
