Manapakuaniskau

Manapakuaniskau is a lake in the forested country inland from the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Its Innu name has been interpreted as a place where cotton grass grows in abundance. The lake lies within the ancestral territory used by Innu families of the region. Routes through the wider lake country included canoe journeys and portages linking inland waters with the Romaine River, which flows south to the gulf.
