Apitipi (Abitibi)
Description
A seaplane on the shores of Apitipi Saikaikan (Lake Abitibi). In the 20th century, it was common to see white people delivering food and merchandise by plane in Abitibi.

A group of people gathered to welcome the vehicle. Anna Mapachee points out that the arrival of someone at a summer camp always aroused great enthusiasm among the ancestors: "We're happy to see other people; we're happy to help them. It's about sharing and mutual assistance, [...] we help them bring their things down. In fact, when a child had hiccups, we used to say that someone was coming."
