WAWAN8GIT AND M8LADAKW
Wana:—-My friend M8ladakw as you are habitually travelling here and there you are perhaps well acquainted with Koatekwok?
Mol:—Koatekwok is the river which is called Coaticook by the Whites. I indeed know it well. It has its source in Vermont and falls into our river Alsigontekwok (St-Francis River).
There are many rapids and falls in its course beginning at about one mile from the City of the same name.
Wawa:—But why was it called Koatckwok?
Mol:-Because there must have been a large quantity of pine trees there and there are some even now.
Koa means pine, suffix tekw means river. Koatekw means pine river.
