Aupaluk ( 2011 Population: 195) is a northern village in Nunavik, in the Nord-du-Québec region of Quebec. It is the least-populous Inuit community in Nunavik.
The name means "where the earth is red", referring to its iron-bearing (ferruginous) soil.
Its population has been increasing: it was 174 in 2006 and 159 in 2001.
Aupaluk is located on the western shore of Ungava Bay, north of Tasiujaq and 80 km south of Kangirsuk. It is about 150 km northwest of Kuujjuaq.
It is served by nearby Aupaluk Airport.
The only school in Aupaluk, Tarsakallak School, was destroyed in a fire on March 15, 2014. The school served a total of 54 students.
Aupaluk is an Inuit reserved land (Category I land for Inuit) in Nunavik, in northern Quebec. Like all Inuit reserved lands in Quebec, it has no resident population (as of the Canada 2011 Census and previous censuses) and is associated with a nearby northern village of the same name: Aupaluk.
The Inuit reserved land of Aupaluk consists of three non-contiguous tracts of land, only one of which is adjacent to the northern village of the same name.
