Tetepisca

Tetepisca is a long lake among the wooded uplands north of the St. Lawrence, draining south toward the Outardes River. On its shores is a rock-art site known to the Innu as Memekueshushuap, “the house of the Memekueshuat.” These beings belong to stories of the Innu country, and their name gives the painted rock a place in that tradition. Families have camped beside the lake while hunting and gathering food in the surrounding territory.
