Attawapiskat is a Native reserve in Ontario located directly west of James Bay.
The first people came to Attawapiskat primarily for its rich natural resources and favorable geographic location along the Attawapiskat River, which provided access to fishing and other sustenance. The area has been traditionally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, particularly the Cree, who relied on the land for hunting, trapping, and gathering. The arrival of European fur traders in the 17th century further established Attawapiskat as a significant trading post, attracting more Indigenous groups and settlers seeking economic opportunities.
