Asheweig

The Asheweig River joins the Winisk after passing through a broad northern watershed of forest and lakes. Its waterways connect places used by Oji-Cree and Weenusk families for fishing, hunting and seasonal travel. Around Long Dog Lake, several river systems meet in the Asheweig drainage, making the area important to families from neighbouring communities. Farther downstream the Winisk continues across the lowlands to Hudson Bay.
