Onatchiway

North of the Saguenay, Lake Onatchiway lies in a forested country of lakes and rivers long used by Innu hunters and trappers. Its waters join the Shipshaw, which flows south to the Saguenay River. The Shipshaw was once known by a form of the lake's name; Onatchiway itself may derive from an Innu word associated with deception or a stratagem. The river offered a way into the hunting grounds of the northern interior.
