Maizinaazibi

Maizinaazibi lies near the junction of the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers, on the waterway the Algonquin know as Kitchissippi. The Madawaska valley was home to the Matouweskarini. In 1613 Samuel de Champlain travelled up the Ottawa seeking a route north; Algonquin communities already knew and used the river and its tributaries.
