The Whiteshell River is one of the major rivers in Whiteshell Provincial Park, in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, near the Ontario border. This river is close to some petroform sites that are about 2000 years old or older. The name "whiteshell" is in reference to the Meegis or cowry shells used by Ojibwa peoples in their ceremonies and teachings, especially the Midewiwin, and as recorded in their birch bark scrolls.

  • Der Whiteshell River ist ein linker Nebenfluss des Winnipeg River im Südosten der kanadischen Provinz Manitoba und im äußersten Südwesten von Ontario. Der Whiteshell River hat seinen Ursprung im Winnetka Lake in Ontario unweit der Provinzgrenze. Er fließt anfangs in westlicher Richtung nach Manitoba zum Impaktkratersee West Hawk Lake. Dabei durchfließt er die beiden kleineren Seen Moth Lake und Royal Lake. Innerhalb von Manitoba liegt der Flusslauf des Whiteshell River vollständig im Whiteshell Provincial Park. Der Fluss verlässt den West Hawk Lake in nördlicher Richtung. Er durchfließt eine Reihe weiterer Seen (Caddy Lake, South Cross Lake, North Cross Lake, Sailing Lake, Lone Island Lake, Jessica Lake, White Lake, Betula Lake, Heart Lake), bevor er 10 km unterhalb von Slave Falls in den Winnipeg River mündet. Mehrere der vom Whiteshell River durchflossenen Seen sind abflussreguliert. Der Whiteshell River hat eine Länge von ungefähr 100 km. Am Pegel unterhalb des Jessica Lake beträgt sein mittlerer Abfluss 3,8 m³/s. Das Einzugsgebiet an dem Pegel umfasst 884 km². (de)
  • The Whiteshell River is one of the major rivers in Whiteshell Provincial Park, in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, near the Ontario border. This river is close to some petroform sites that are about 2000 years old or older. The name "whiteshell" is in reference to the Meegis or cowry shells used by Ojibwa peoples in their ceremonies and teachings, especially the Midewiwin, and as recorded in their birch bark scrolls. The river was used for thousands of years as a major canoe route by native peoples. The Winnipeg and Whiteshell Rivers are the only waterways to easily travel between Lake Winnipeg and Lake Superior. The copper culture period of about 4,000 years ago involved the trade of copper from the north shore of Lake Superior to the Whiteshell Provincial Park area and other areas now known as Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. Manitoba also has prehistoric quartz mines to the far north, and evidence of ancient quartz mining also exists along the Winnipeg River area. Quartz, copper, and other minerals were used to make prehistoric arrow heads, tools, scrapers, spears, and artwork. Whiteshell Provincial Park is still a popular area for wild rice harvesting, as it was for thousands of years. Today this river system area is popular for canoeing, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, and many cottages are located along the lakes and rivers of the park. The geography and geology of the area consists of Canadian Shield granite rock ridges, cliffs, boreal forest, bogs, and only one main road through the park. It is a very wild and pristine area with many deer, bear, wolves, coyotes, bald eagles, fox, cougars, lynx, and other wildlife. (en)
