NATASHQUAN
Where Innu from the Nutashkuan community and Acadians now live side by side. The village was made famous by the Quebec poet-singer Gilles Vigneault and this “little village with a big name” pays homage to him.
KEGASKA
Continue driving East another 44 km on the final, unpaved section of Route 138 to the village of Kegaska, gateway to the isolated region of Quebec’s Lower North Shore. The name Kegaska is from the Montagnais language and refers to the bay on either side of the point. A trading post in 1831, Kegaska saw the arrival of 13 Acadian families between 1852 and 1860. Following a serious epidemic that decimated the population in the winter of 1871, the Cayens deserted Kegaska for Havre-Saint-Pierre, giving up their fishing facilities to Newfoundlanders. Since October 2013, Kegaska is connected by road to the rest of the province of Quebec. Fishing is the main economy of this small English-speaking village.
