Coucoucache, Indigenous reserve in La Tuque, Canada.

The Coucoucache reserve stretches across 5.6 hectares of land along the Saint-Maurice River within Quebec's Mauricie region, north of Reservoir Blanc.

Established in 1853 with 230,000 acres for indigenous tribes, Coucoucache underwent major changes when the 1932 Rapide-Blanc Dam construction reduced its size to 12 acres.

The name Coucoucache originates from 'kôkôkachi' meaning owl, referring to a mountain at the eastern end that resembles this bird's shape.

The reserve, officially designated as Coucoucache 24A, operates under the Atikamekw Council and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada's jurisdiction.

A Hudson's Bay Company trading post existed at Coucoucache Lake since 1823, marking this location as an early commercial center for indigenous trade.
