Kinosota

Kinosota lies on the western shore of Lake Manitoba, south of the narrow passage that divides its northern and southern waters. Forest, marsh and prairie meet around the lake, whose shores have long been home to Indigenous communities. In the 1820s the Hudson’s Bay Company established Manitoba House nearby as a fur-trading post serving the country between Riding Mountain and Lake Winnipeg. The lake and its waterways connected the post with a much wider interior trading network.
