 Wasikahikan, theatricality of the Atikamekw territory and research-creation journey 
This article presents a research-creation doctoral project that explains the territory through different prisms, comparing studies of natural and social sciences to the current and past Atikamekw experience of the territory, Nitaskinan. This research-creation also consists of a hybrid theater show combining the forms of documentary theater and those of creative theater, in other words: a theatrical creation based on historical, scientific, as well as Atikamekw mythology. Two objectives are pursued in this research: 1) to use the Atikamekw linguistic structure and mythology to create images in choreographic form and 2) deepen a holistic creative method based on the Atikamekw culture. The experience of an Atikamekw woman, researcher and artist committed to Indigenous communities, will serve as a meeting point for research and theatrical practice and will be illustrated with extracts from her dramaturgical works.
