Native Bay is a waterway in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in Hudson Bay off western Southampton Island. The Bell Peninsula lies to the southeast. Native Point is located at the bay's southern tip. East Bay is Template:Cvt to the east and Coral Harbour is Template:Cvt to the north northwest.[2][3]
Geography
The habitat consists of three main types, water, unvegetated land, and moist or wet vegetated tundra.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. This can be further broken down as dry heath, gravel ridge, intertidal zone, moss carpet, scrub willow, and sedge meadow.[4] The elevation rises up to Template:Cvt above sea level.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
Climate
Southampton Island has a severe subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) which transitions into a tundra climate (ET). Like almost all of Nunavut, Southampton Island is entirely above the tree line. Coral Harbour has never gone above freezing in January, February and March (although the latter has recorded 0.0 °C (32.0 °F). Due to the frozen nature of Hudson Bay, there is a severe seasonal lag until June, especially compared to more continental areas such as Fairbanks despite much sunshine and perpetual twilight at night. Due to the drop of solar strength and the absence of warm water even in summer, temperatures still drop off very fast as September approaches. Cold extremes are severe, but in line with many areas even farther south in Canada's interior.

An archeological site exists on the west side of Native Point,[5] the largest Sallirmiut site on the island.[6]
