Neebing

Neebing lies near the western end of Lake Superior, among forest, rivers and the high ground above Thunder Bay. Nee-bing was a place of summer gatherings for the Ojibwe of this shore. Nearby, the Kaministiquia River provided a canoe route from the lake towards the inland waterways. French traders established posts near its mouth in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and the North West Company later made Fort William a centre of its western trade.
