Mnjikaning Fish Weirs National Historic Site of Canada, located in Atherley, Ontario, is recognized for containing the largest and best-preserved wooden fish weirs in eastern North America. Used from approximately 3300 B.C. until recent times, the site reflects the spiritual connections of Indigenous peoples, including the Huron-Wendat and the Anishinaabeg, to this historic area.
The site features significant wooden stakes dating back over 5,000 years and represents an important archaeological resource for understanding early human activity in the region. Its combination of natural waterways and cultural heritage underscores the sacred relationship between human beings and the environment that persists to this day.
