Nasacauso

Lake Nasacauso lies northwest of Lake Mistassini, in the forested country of the Eastmain River. Its irregular shore encloses several islands, including a hooked island near the middle; two more lie at its outlet. The Eastmain passes the lake's eastern end and continues west towards James Bay. The lake's name comes from the northern dialect of East Cree, a reminder of the people whose homeland includes these inland waters.
