Manouane

Manouane is a lake in the forested interior north of Lake Saint-Jean. Its Innu name refers to a place where eggs are gathered. The lake drains through a chain of waters into the Manouane River, a major tributary of the Péribonka. Innu travel routes followed these rivers through the interior; in the seventeenth century missionaries and fur traders also used the Péribonka route to reach Indigenous hunters, though its many portages made the journey arduous.
