The Algonquins, a people rich in culture and traditions
Abitibi-Témiscamingue is seen as a young region, although its territory has been occupied for more than 7,000 years by Aboriginal peoples. In the mid-17th century, when the first whites arrived, the region was occupied by two clans of hunter-gatherers: the Timiskaming and the Abitibi. For thousands of years, they braved the cold and traveled almost all the waterways in the region to which they gave their name: Abitibi means: "where the waters divide" and Témiscamingue means: "at the deep lake. Skilled in the forest and having a deep knowledge of the territory, the Algonquins provided valuable assistance to the settlers who settled with difficulty and misery in this wild region. For decades, they accompanied and influenced French Canadians in the development of the region. Their hunting and survival techniques in the forest, their medicinal knowledge, their way of life, their beliefs and their philosophy have quietly become impregnated in the identity of the people of Abitibi and Témiscamingue through interbreeding and mutual influence.
