Mistanipi

Mistanipi, the Great Lake, is a Naskapi name for the waters known as Lake Sérigny in the northern interior. The lake and surrounding plateau lie in the Caniapiscau country, a region important to Naskapi subsistence. Caribou move through this landscape, and Naskapi knowledge recalls their presence near the Sérigny River in spring. The river joins the Caniapiscau, whose waters continue north to the Koksoak and Ungava Bay.
