Waswanipi, Quebec

(重定向自Waswanipi)
Spearing Salmon By Torchlight by Paul Kane demonstrates the practice of using light to attract fish at night, from which the village derives its name.

Waswanipi (Cree:ᐙᔂᓂᐲ or Wâswânipî) is a Cree community in the Eeyou Istchee territory of central Quebec, Canada, located along Route 113 and near the confluence of the Chibougamau and Waswanipi Rivers. It has a population of 1,473 people (Canada 2006 Census). Waswanipi is a compound word composed of wâswân (a place to fish at night using a torch) and -pî (lake), meaning "torch-fishing lake" but colloquially translated as "light over the water" referring to the traditional night-time fishing method of luring fish to light by using torches.
