Pukaskwa Point

Along the Pukaskwa coast of Lake Superior, rocky points and forested coves alternate with beaches of rounded stones. The shoreline belongs to the country of the Anishinaabe, whose connections extend inland as well as along the great lake. On some beaches are stone-lined hollows known as Pukaskwa pits, or Maandawaab-kinganan, made by earlier inhabitants. These structures are among the traces of a long human history on the rugged northern shore.
