Pokegama

Pokegama lies in the lake and forest country of the upper Great Lakes interior. Waterways and portages connect lakes and rivers, providing routes through wooded country. Indigenous communities have long maintained relationships with these lands and waters.

In the wider region, trade, kinship and diplomacy connected diverse Indigenous peoples before European fur traders entered their networks. Canoe routes and the paths between waterways helped people carry goods and maintain relationships across the forested interior.
