Pichinamei

Pichinamei Lake lies south of Attawapiskat Lake in the northern Ontario interior. Its name comes from Northwestern Ojibwe, reflecting the long Indigenous presence in this country of lakes and rivers. The Attawapiskat watershed stretches east towards James Bay, while waterways and portages connect neighbouring lake systems. Families travelled through the forests to fish and hunt, moving between camps as the seasons and available resources changed.
