Sept-Îles is a Canadian city, located in Québec, on the north coast of the Saint Lawrence Gulf. Its name ("seven islands") is due to the small archipelago, consisting of seven islands, in the large bay on which it lies. The French navigator, Jacques Cartier, discovered the bay with its islands in 1535. Sept-Îles is home to two Indian reserves, Uashat and Maliotenam.

Here, interested people can learn a lot about the history of the region and visit changing exhibitions of regional artists. The collection includes exhibits from archeology, ethnology, fine arts, as well as from the natural sciences. Sept-Îles also offers you the opportunity to meet with the Innu, the local Indians.
