Official Name: Churchill Falls
Feature: falls
Explanation:
There was always a cloud of vapor above the falls. When you were traveling miles away from the falls, you could see the mist going straight up high. That is why the weather was bad in the area all the time. The Innu name of the falls appears in 1893 in an article by Henry Bryant.
