Sept-Iles Quebec

Posted on Sunday, November 15, 2009

Discover Sept-Iles, one of Quebec's largest cities surrounded by forests and awash in lakes and rivers; it is a veritable paradise for hunters and anglers. Visit Jolliet's trading post which in 1967, was refurbished to look as it did in 1786 and serves as a museum for the local hunting traditions. Here you'll also have the opportunity to step inside a traditional shaputuan (animal skin tent) and listen to Innu discuss their culture and current challenges. The Shaputuan Museum allows visitors to further discover and appreciate the Innu culture by featuring both an exhibit of seasonal Innu lifestyle as well as a display of traditional art work by local artists.
