Toulnustouc

The Toulnustouc flows through the forested high country north of the St. Lawrence, widening into the lakes of Fortin and Sainte-Anne before joining the Manicouagan. An Innu name for the river has been interpreted as “river parallel to the Manicouagan,” recalling its course through the interior. It formed an important route through Innu country, joining lakes and river valleys used for travel and access to hunting grounds far from the coast.
