Located on the shores of Rupert Bay at the confluence of the Nottaway, Broadback, Rupert and Pontax rivers, Waskaganish - little house - was a popular meeting place for communities established in the interior. Also known as Fort Charles, Fort Rupert and Fort St-Jacques, it became in 1668 the site of the very first trading post established by Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Médart Chouart, Lord Des Groseilliers. This coastal community is accessible by road since 2001. While you are here, stop to admire and purchase one of the famous Cree decoys or a Cree/Japanese canoe made by Cree Yamaha Motors.
