"Odanak First Nation" is an Abenaki First Nations reserve in the Central Quebec region of Canada. Their territory is located near the mouth of the Saint-François River, at its confluence with the St. Lawrence River. It is partly within the limits of Pierreville and across the river from Saint-François-du-Lac. "The Abenaki settled in the Sillery region of Quebec between 1676 and 1680 and subsequently, for about twenty years, lived on the banks of the Chaudiere River, near the falls, before settling in Odanak and Wôlinak in the early eighteenth century. Their name was derived from the terms w8bAn (light) and Aki (land), which mean: "people in the morning of", or, "people of the East. In those days, the Abenaki practiced a subsistence economy based on hunting, fishing, trapping, berry picking and on growing corn, beans, squash, potatoes and tobacco. They made baskets made of ash and sweat grass for picking wild berries and boiled maple sap, to make syrup. Basket weaving remains a traditional activity, for members of both communities."
