Nemaska (Template:Langx, meaning underwater point, but commonly associated with the word namesiskâw, meaning many fish.) is a small Cree community located on the shores of Lake Champion, in Quebec, Canada. It is a small Cree village with a population of 832 people at the 2021 census.[1] Nemaska is the seat of the Grand Council of the Crees and Cree Regional Authority.
It was officially known (by the Quebec government) as Nemiscau until May 8, 2010.[2]
Nemaska is a new and modern village that consists of Cree families originally living at the Nemiscau trading post on Lake Nemiscau (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".). The settlement was abandoned in the mid-1970s when Hydro-Québec proposed hydro-electric development on the Rupert River, which would have resulted in the flooding of the area. The nearby Hydro-Québec electrical substation and airport, both called Nemiscau, create confusion as to the town's name. As a result, many maps indicate the new site by the old name Nemiscau.
Nemaska is accessible by air (from Hydro-Québec's Nemiscau Airport) and by car over the gravel North Road (Route du Nord). About Script error: No such module "convert". east from the village is the huge Hydro-Québec substation of Nemiscau.
