The Rae River (Pallirk) is a waterway that flows from Akuliakattak Lake[1] into Richardson Bay, Coronation Gulf. Its mouth is situated northwest of Kugluktuk, Nunavut. Its shores were the ancestral home of Copper Inuit subgroups: the Kanianermiut[2] (also known as Uallirgmiut) (located at the river's headwaters) and the Pallirmiut[3] (located at the river's mouth).
