" Apitipik is both a sacred site and summer gathering place for the Abitibiwinnik. It contains a 6 000-year old archaeological record. After the annual hunt, the Abitibiwinnik met, traded, and celebrated here with families from other Aboriginal groups. Between 1686 and 1922, several trading posts were also established at and near this site. The Abitibiwinnik frequented Apitipik until 1956. This site is of enduring spiritual and cultural significance to the people of Pikogan and Wahgoshig.
