Témiscamie

The Témiscamie River flows southwest through the uplands into Lake Albanel, east of the larger Lake Mistassini. Its valley lies in a region of forest, rock and lakes whose waters ultimately reach James Bay. On an island in the lower river in 1672, the Jesuit Charles Albanel met Sebisaouat, an elder chief of the Mistassini people. Albanel continued through the lake country on his journey to the bay.
