The community of Nemaska which means “Place to Fish” is nestled on the shore of beautiful Champion Lake. Nemaska has been called “the heart of the Cree Nation” and when you look at the map you will see that we are very much in the centre of Eeyou Istchee. Nemaska is a wonderful place to relax while taking in the natural beauty of our vast territory. From here you can travel easily to the other communities, or explore the surrounding wilderness in any season. Of course, after spending a night or two in our exceptional lodge and sampling the fare of one of the region's best chefs, you may decide that there's no reason to leave!
