Pimachiowin Aki (/ˌpɪˈmætʃəwɪn ɑːˈkiː/ pih-MATCH-uh-win ah-KEE) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the boreal forest that covers parts of Manitoba and Ontario. The site is more than 29,000 square kilometres (11,000 sq mi) in area, and includes ancestral lands of four First Nations including Poplar River First Nation, Little Grand Rapids First Nation, Pauingassi First Nation, and Bloodvein First Nation.[1][2] The area also includes the Manitoba Provincial Wilderness Park of Atikaki Provincial Park and the Ontario Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. The World Heritage Site's original proposal started with the signing of the Protected Areas and First Nation Resource Stewardship Accord in 2002.[3] The name means land that gives life in Ojibwe (ᐱᒪᒋᐅᐃᐧᓂ ᐊᑭ).[4]
