Mouchalagane

Mouchalagane is a river of rapids and lakes in the northern interior of the Innu homeland. Flowing south, it reaches a long lake on the western side of the ancient Manicouagan impact basin. The lake's Innu name has been recorded as Mûshaualâkan, referring to setting nets out toward open water. In 1731 the missionary Pierre-Michel Laure marked the river on his map of the King's Domain as Moucha'ouragane, preserving an early written form of its name.
