Attawapiskat First Nation
The Attawapiskat First Nation ( ''(クリー語:ᐋᐦᑕᐙᐱᐢᑲᑐᐎ ᐃᓂᓂᐧᐊᐠ)'' , "People of the parting of the rocks"; unpointed: ) is an isolated First Nation located in Kenora District in northern Ontario, Canada, at the mouth of the Attawapiskat River on James Bay. The traditional territory of the Attawapiskat First Nation extends beyond their reserve up the coast to Hudson Bay and hundreds of kilometres inland along river tributaries. The community is connected to other towns along the shore of James Bay by the seasonal ice road/winter road constructed each December, linking it to the towns of Kashechewan First Nation, Fort Albany, and Moosonee (Minkin 2008:1) Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, and Kashechewan operate and manage the James Bay Winter Road through a jointly owned corporation named after the Cree word for our road ''kimesskanemenow'', the Kimesskanemenow Corporation. Attawapiskat is the most remote northerly link on the 310 km long road to Moosonee.〔()〕 They control the reserves at Attawapiskat 91 and Attawapiskat 91A.
==Etymology==
Attawapiskat (''Āhtawāpiskatowi ininiwak'', unpointed: ᐊᑕᐗᐱᐢᑲᑐᐎ ᐃᓂᓂᐧᐊᐠ) means "People of the parting of the rocks" from the Swampy Cree (Omushkegowuk) ''chat-a-wa-pis-shkag''. The Attawapiskat River carved out several clusters of spectacular high limestone islands less than from its mouth that are unique to the region. These formations (and therefore the river and community) are called ''chat-a-wa-pis-shkag'' in Swampy Cree (Omushkegowuk).〔 Also 〕
