Old Post Sept-Îles is a historical interpretation site reconstructing an 18th-century fur trading post.
The trading post of Sept-Îles originated around 1673. It was a traditional summer gathering place for the Innu of the Sainte-Marguerite and Moisey rivers, where the first French traders settled for food, hunting and fishing.

The Moisie River is popular with experienced canoeists concerning its whitewater. It flows through a substantial valley formed by glaciers. The valley’s breadth fluctuates greatly; it is very narrow where the river spout is, and it is bigger when there are no rapids to block it.
It is frequently utilized for canoe camping because of the cliffs and mountain vistas.

August
The community of Maliotenam has long been a meeting and gathering point for the region’s Innu people. Founded in 1984 by a small team of dreamers, the Innu Nikamu Festival is supported by an entire community. It unites people around music and expresses its identity through art and creativity.
This large family celebration in August creates a rapprochement between the different Aboriginal nations who meet there annually for four days of performances.
