Explanation:
Although this name is quite new, it should be retained in the place names database. It refers to the locality where Christine Tuma (grand daughter of Joseph Toma and daughter of An-Pinamen Tuma) was christened by Father Len Paradis 24 years ago. The priest was in the country with Thomas Noah and family at the time. The Innu do not normally give names to places where people were christened in the country.
