Onabeesh

Onabeesh Lake lies southeast of Dauphin Lake in the parkland of western Manitoba. Its name is recorded as a Saulteaux word meaning “small net.” The lake belongs to a cluster of waters near the western shore of Lake Manitoba, where aspen, spruce and oak grow between prairie and wetland. Fishing and travel along the lakes connected the Indigenous communities of this country with the larger waters to the east and north.
