FR Description

Au parc Legion Memorial de Mattawa, deux plaques - une de la Commission des lieux et monuments historiques et du Canada et une de la Fiducie du patrimoine ontarien -  rappellent l'importance de la rivière Mattawa pour les Premières Nations, les explorateurs, les marchands de fourrure, les missionnaires. Ici, vous marchez sur les traces de Samuel de Champlain, Jean de Brébeuf, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser et David Thompson.

Mattawa signifie «la fourche». Les voyageurs qui quittaient la rivière des Outaouais en direction ouest devaient effectuer 11 portages dans les 65 kilomètres suivants.

Plaque historique de Mattawa
Description

In Mattawa's Legion Memorial Park, by the Mattawa River, two plaques remind of the importance of this canoe route. The Mattawa River had been used for millennia by First Peoples before it was first seen by Europeans in the early 17th century. For more than 200 years thereafter, it was one of Canada’s main highways of exploration and commerce.
