Pipmuacan

Pipmuacan is a lake and river country in the forested interior north of the St. Lawrence. The Innu name has been linked to the arrow and to a tradition of fighting on a mountain above the lake. Nearby waters were reached by Innu from several directions: Pessamit families came by the Betsiamites basin, while those from Essipit and the Lake Saint-Jean country followed other rivers. Indigenous names in the area were recorded on the missionary Laure's maps in the eighteenth century.
