Chitek

Chitek Lake lies north of Waterhen Lake in the country between the great lakes of Manitoba. Its name comes from the Cree word for pelican. Forests and wetlands surround the lake, where the aspen country of the south meets the boreal woods of the north. The area belongs to the traditional territory of the Skownan Anishinaabe, whose country extends from Waterhen Lake northward to Chitek.
