yeah weird that so far away same name!! ok here shawinigan came from atticamek tribe i think, from Achawenegan or something like this (no writing from the autochton only oral) meaning where you haul your canoe (portage in french) because of the falls (its been called Shawinigan Falls before)
sorry to hijack the tread - we love our historic/specific region in canada!!
