Ottawa declared the Manawan Indian Reserve in 1906. According to a contemporary federal report, 1906 acres of land was reserved for approximately 50 Indigenous people living in the local community. Metapeckeka or Manawan thereafter, was a meeting place of Indigenous peoples for generations chosen for its location for the hunt as well as for settlement. In a decision to end nomadism, about 1850 Chef Louis Newashish requesed the territory of Manawan from the federal government but the federal response was the area of Maniwaki. Seeing the Atikamekw people refused to settle in the area Ottawa off red another region unsuccessfully. Eventually the government relinquished and the Maniwan area . The village was named Metapeckeka, which means "marsh emerging from a bay" and was located upstream of the current site of Manawan. The Atikamekw people have live in this area since this time.
