Around 6000 years ago, the Tshishennuatsh (Ilnuatsh ancestors) penetrated
the heart of the Canadian Shield that had just been liberated from its glaciers.
These newcomers occupied in its entirety a territory, well irrigated by the rivers
which flow into the Saguenay and the Pekuakami (Lake st-John).
The Pekuakamiulnuatsh (their descendants) have maintained over the years
a nomadic life style in rhythm of the seasons.
