ODANAK, QUEBEC

'Odanak, Quebec' is an Indian reserve in the Centre-du-Québec region, Quebec, Canada. It is located near the mouth of the Saint-François River, neighbouring Saint-François-du-Lac and Pierreville. The word "Odanak" is the Abenaki word for "coming to the village".
Odanak is home to the ''Musée des Abénakis'' (Abenakis Museum), a museum dedicated to the history, culture and art of the Western Abenaki people. Several other businesses are present on reserve territory, including an independently owned gas station and a dairy specializing in the production of cheese (La Fromagerie d'Odanak).
Aboriginal filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin grew up in Odanak. Her latest film is a tribute to the people of Odanak, ''Waban-Aki: People from Where the Sun Rises''[1].
