Acoutsina

Acoutsina (c. 1697 – after 1719), the daughter of Chief Ouibignaro, was an Inuk from Labrador who taught François Martel de Brouague, a French colonist and commandant of the coast of Labrador, the language of her people. The name "Acoutsina" is believed to be a French derivation of an Inuit term, akutsiarq, meaning the beautiful apron.
