Atikokiwam

Atikokiwam Lake lies in the forested lake country near Lake St. Joseph, in the upper Albany watershed. Lake St. Joseph drains east towards James Bay through the Albany River, and its shores have long been part of the homeland of Mishkeegogamang Ojibway people. Lakes, streams and portages connected fishing places and seasonal camps across the interior. Atikokiwam belongs to this wider landscape of water routes and northern forest.
