Maskikogamak

Maskikogamak, “at the lake of grasses” in Abenaki, is a broad lake formed by the Saint-François River among the hills south of the Saint Lawrence. Upstream lies the long Grand lac Saint-François, whose waters feed this lake. Together with the river, these waters formed a route through Ndakina, the Wabanaki homeland. Other lakes and rivers carried travellers south and east toward the Kennebec, Connecticut and Penobscot watersheds, linking the upper Saint-François country with neighbouring lands.
