The Pekuakamiunuatsh (Innus of the Piékouakami) are the only First Nation on the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean territory.
At the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh, discover their rich culture through exhibitions, activities and an outdoor site that takes you to the heart of the boreal forest.
Opened in June 1977, the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh is recognized as a privileged place for the promotion and transmission of the culture of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Innus of the Piékouakami) and other First Nations of North America.
Its permanent exhibition Tshilanu Ilnuatsh (Us) won an Excellence Award from the Canadian Museums Association in 2021. It showcases the culture of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh throughout the seasons in an interactive and content-rich journey. The museum also features two to three temporary exhibitions that change in the spring and fall.
