Matchi-Manitou

Matchi-Manitou is an unorganized territory in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec, Canada. It is one of five unorganized territories in La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality.

Until July 6, 1996, Matchi-Manitou was a vast unorganized territory encompassing a land area of 16760 km2. On that day, most of it was added to the City of Senneterre and a smaller portion to the City of Val-d'Or. It retained only two small non-contiguous areas, of which its eastern part is a section of land straddling both banks of the Chochocouane River and mostly part of the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve.

It is named after Matchi-Manitou Lake ( 48.0125°N, -77.04889°W ), which used to be within its limits, but since 1996 is part of Senneterre and Val-d'Or. Its name is taken from both the Cree and Innu languages and means "evil spirit".
