Nibiischii — "Land of Waters, where the great natural waters of the North are born" — manages two wildlife reserves at the heart of Eeyou Istchee James Bay: the Lacs-Albanel-Mistassini-et-Waconichi wildlife reserve and the Assinica wildlife reserve. Together these territories cover more than 24,000 km² of thousands of lakes and spectacular rivers, including the vast Lac Mistassini and Lac Waconichi. Fishing is king here: four marquee species — walleye, northern pike, brook trout and lake trout — await your line, with certain lakes allocated by lottery draw. You can stay in a cozy rustic log chalet or a floating chalet

Managed by the Corporation Nibiischii of Mistissini, this Cree-tourism territory offers an authentic northern experience of water, rock and wide-open wilderness.
