Caption: Marker detail: Algonquin Homeland /
Au pays des Algonquins
Additional Description: In the early 17th century, a handful of European adventurers penetrated this region and encountered members of the Algonquin people. The inhabitants welcomed the new arrivals, taught them about the wilderness, and served as their guides and middlemen in the fur trade. Algonquins still live here in their ancient homeland.

Au début du XVIIe siècle, quelques Européens s'aventurèrent dans la région et rencontrèrent des Algonquins. Les habitants accueillirent les nouveaux venus, les initièrent à la vie dans la nature et leur servirent de guides et d'intermédiaires dans le commerce des fourrures. Des Algonquins demeurent toujours ici, dans leur ancienne patrie.
