Davis Inlet was a Naskapi community in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, formerly inhabited by the Mushuau Innu First Nation. It was named for its adjacent fjord, itself named for English explorer, John Davis, who in 1587 charted the region as part of ongoing efforts to find the Northwest Passage to the Pacific.
The residents of Davis Inlet were relocated to the new community of Natuashish, 15 km (9.3 mi) away, in 2002.[1][2][3][4]
