Translation: Wolf Lake
Feature: lake
Explanation:
This lake results from the widening of the river Maikan-nipiu-shipu (no 621). Both features are named in reference to lake Maikan-nipi (no 463) which feeds the river. The use of the word natuashu in this area of the Sheshatshiu territory suggests the place name might originate from speakers with a northern origin who moved south.
