Nemadji

The Nemadji River flows through wooded valleys to the western end of Lake Superior. Its Ojibwe name is understood as the Left-Hand River: travellers entering the bay from the lake found its mouth to their left, with the larger St. Louis River on the other side. The river and its branches drain the clay country south of the lake. Fish and seasonal camps made the sheltered waters of the bay important to the Ojibwe of the western shore.
