Kiamika

The Kiamika River winds through the forests and lakes of the Laurentian country before joining the Lièvre, a tributary of the Ottawa River. Its Algonquin name has been interpreted in more than one way, but the river itself was part of a landscape long known to Indigenous hunters and fishers. Along the Lièvre, beaver, bear, otter and mink were among the animals sought for their fur. The river also served as a route of exchange between the people of the interior and other Indigenous nations of the Ottawa Valley.
