🎧  Listen to Introduction

Pimachiowin Aki ("Life-Giving Land") is a landscape of rivers, lakes, wetlands and boreal forests. It is part of the ancestral homeland of the Anishinaabeg, an indigenous people who lived by fishing, hunting and gathering. The site encompasses the traditional lands of four Anishinaabeg communities: Bloodvein River, Little Grand Rapids, Pauingassi and Poplar River. It is an outstanding example of the Ji-ganawendamang Gidakiiminaan ("Tendency of the Land") cultural tradition, which includes respect for the gifts of the Creator, respect for all life forms and harmonious relationships with others. A complex network of livelihood sites, dwellings, travel routes and ceremonial sites, often connected by waterways, bear witness to this ancient and continuing tradition.
