Attawapiskat Formation
The Attawapiskat Formation is a geologic formation in Ontario. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period. Location The Attawapiskat Formation encompasses a large portion of the Hudson Bay Basin. The formation remains visible from northern Ontario. A small portion of the formation does extend onto Nunavut territory. Composition It is widely believed that the formation originally deposited on a shallow rimmed shelf, followed by the development of barrier reefs into an nonlinear and uncoordinated "belt" around the Hudson Basin. Within the Hudson Bay Lowlands, the formation consists of dolomite and limestone rich in both coral and sponge. The formation is a haven for lithotopes, or media for sediments to deposit, with various types including: * Mottled to Nodular Skeletal Wackestone * Stromatoporoid-Coral Framestone * Pelodial Intraclastic Bindstone * Graded Oolitic Grainstone The formation's depth reaches 62 meters at its deepest.

Attawapiskat Kimberlite Field
The Attawapiskat kimberlite field is a field of kimberlite pipes located astride the Attawapiskat River in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, in Northern Ontario, Canada. It is thought to have formed about 180 million years ago in the Jurassic period when the North American Plate moved westward over a centre of upwelling magma called the New England hotspot, also referred to as the Great Meteor hotspot. Since June 26, 2008, the De Beers Open-pit mining, open pit Victor Diamond Mine has been in operation mining two pipes in the field at , about west of the community of Attawapiskat First Nation, Attawapiskat.

Attawapiskat Lake
Attawapiskat Lake () is a lake in Kenora District, Ontario, Canada. The primary inflows are the Otoskwin River, the Marten-Drinking River and the Pineimuta River. The two outflows are the Attawapiskat River and the North Channel, which itself flows into the Attawapiskat River. The First Nations community of Neskantaga (also known as Lansdowne House, Ontario) is located on the west side of the lake. The name of the lake comes from a region through which the Attawapiskat River flows less than from its mouth, where it has carved out several clusters of high limestone islands, nicknamed by canoeists the "Birthday Cakes". The formations are unique to the region, the Swampy Cree (Omushkegowuk) word for which, ''tawâpiskâ'' (as "''kâh-tawâpiskâk''" in its Conjunct form and as "''êh-tawâpiskât''" in its Participle form), gives name to the river and hence the lake.
