Athabasca River
The Athabasca River (French: ''rivière Athabasca'') originates from the Columbia Glacier of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. The impressive and scenic Athabasca Falls is located upstream about from the Jasper townsite.
In Woods Cree, the word ''aðapaskāw'' means "() there are plants one after another",〔Bright, William (2004). ''Native American Place Names of the United States''. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, pg. 52〕 likely a reference to the spotty vegetation along the river.
== History ==
Sekani, Shuswap, Kootenay, Salish, Stoney and Cree tribes hunted and fished along the river prior to the European colonization. From about 1778, the Athabasca River, the Clearwater River, which enters the Athabasca River from the east at Fort McMurray, and the Methye Portage were part of the main fur trade route from the Mackenzie River to the Great Lakes. See Canadian Canoe Routes (early).
David Thompson and Thomas the Iroquois travelled through Athabasca Pass in 1811. In 1862, the Athabasca Springs area was crossed during the Cariboo Goldrush by the Overlander Party.
