Kuei! Welcome!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If ever one day you have the opportunity to drive eastward on road 138, you will enjoy a magnificent landscape and pass by a incredible number of lakes and rivers. Once you\u2019ve reached Ragueneau, you will see on your right hand side a long peninsula, locally known as a\u00a0 “point”. This is Pointe-aux-Outardes.<\/p>\n

On the peninsula stands Parc nature de la Pointe-aux-Outardes<\/em>, a natural reserve there to share the North Shore’s nature with the public. The park is located beside the village of the same name. The peninsula is bordering the mouth of Aux Outardes River. This strategic geographical position bestows a rich archaeological potential to the park.<\/p>\n

For these reasons, archaeological research was conducted at this site from 2015 to 2018. It led to the discovery of longheld secrets related to the ancient inhabitants of Pointe-aux-Outardes. \u00a0This scientific project was conducted by the Arch\u00e9o-Mamu C\u00f4te-Nord team, with the participation of archaeology students, volunteers and many Innu people from the Pessamit community.<\/p>\n
