Outapimiskou

Outapimiskou was the Indigenous name of a river entering Anse Brise-Culotte on the lower Saguenay. The name referred to a kind of beaver lodge on a rock above the river, a landmark known to travellers. Father Pierre-Michel Laure recorded this and other Indigenous names in the eighteenth century, when the steep valleys and waterways of the Saguenay were still frequented for hunting and fishing.
