Manitowik

Manitowik Lake lies on the Michipicoten River, between Dog Lake and the river's mouth on Lake Superior. The waterway crosses the forested interior and forms part of a route towards the Missinaibi and James Bay. Ojibwe families hunted and trapped around Manitowik and Dog Lake; their activities appear in the records of the Michipicoten trading post. At the river mouth, Michipicoten Ojibwe maintained summer grounds and ties with communities around the great lake.
