Lakitusaki

The Lakitusaki River reaches the western shore of James Bay north of the Ekwan. Wide tidal marshes line this low coast, where Cree communities have long travelled and hunted. The river was associated with one of the groups of Mushkegowuk living along the shore. Farther north, Cape Henrietta Maria divides James Bay from Hudson Bay; travellers could avoid the exposed waters around the cape by taking inland routes between the Ekwan and Winisk rivers.
