    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Hudson_orogeny

    During the Wopmay orogeny, subduction occurred as oceanic crust of the Slave Craton was subducted beneath an eastward-moving continental plate. Likewise, during the Trans-Hudson orogeny, rifting at first separated the Superior craton from the rest of the continent. Then the Superior Craton reversed its direction and the ocean basin began to close.
