Kiamika, Quebec
Kiamika is a municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality. Joseph Montferrand (1802-1864), a logger of imposing stature and extraordinary physical strength, was from Kiamika. Etymology The municipality is named after the Kiamika River, which flows through its territory and is a tributary of the Lièvre River. This name, mentioned by Stanislas Drapeau as ''Kiamica'' and appearing on a map of Quebec by Eugène Taché from 1870, comes from the Algonquin word ''kickiamika'' meaning "steep cut below the water", from ''kicki'' (steep cut) and ''amick'' (below the water). However, an alternate meaning may be "deep and quiet river", from the roots ''kiam'' (deep) and ''ka'' (quiet).

On the banks of the Lièvre River, about south of Val-Barrette, settlers established the mission of Saint-Gérard-de-Kiamika ...
