Mashteuiatsh is the only Indigenous community in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. Nowadays, the community is referred to as Pekuakamiulnuatsh (i.e., the Ilnuatsh of Pekuakami). Most of its members live on-reserve and in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. Previously called Ouiatchouan, the reserve was named Mashteuiatsh in 1985, but is commonly known as Pointe Bleue. The 6,780 members of this community speak Nehleun, a southern dialect of Innu-aimun, and French.
