About Us
Mistissini, Quebec is a place of deep cultural significance, with a rich history rooted in the traditions of the Cree Nation. The name "Mistissini" means Big Rock in the Cree language, which refers to the large rock outcroppings that can be found in the northern parts of the lake.
For hundreds of years, Mistissini served as a summer gathering place for the Cree people, who would migrate to the region during the warmer months to take advantage of the abundant natural resources, such as fish and game.
Today, Mistissini is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The pristine freshwater lake that surrounds the town offers endless opportunities for water sports such as kayaking, canoeing, boating, and jet skiing during the summer months. In the winter, Mistissini transforms into a winter wonderland, attracting snowmobile enthusiasts, cross-country skiers, and snowshoers.
Whether you visit in the summer or winter, Mistissini is sure to captivate you with its natural beauty and warm Cree hospitality.
