Manawan, First Nations reserve in Matawinie, Canada

Manawan spreads across 774 hectares on the south-western shores of Lake Métabeskéga in the Lanaudière region of Quebec.

The Canadian government established the Manouane Reserve on August 29, 1906, following negotiations with an initial population of 50 residents.

The Atikamekw language remains strong in Manawan, with 97 percent of residents identifying it as their primary language of communication.

Two educational institutions serve the community: École Simon P. Ottawa for elementary students and École secondaire Otapi for secondary education.

The name Manawan translates to 'place where they gather eggs' in Atikamekw, while the original name Metapeckeka means 'where swamps emerge'.
