n the right is a map of Lac LaLoche. It differs
from most such maps because where the lake bends towards the left, most maps
show an isthmus extending Northeastwards into the lake from the West side.
That isthmus is not accurate. The Eastern part
of it is actually separated from the land surrounding the lake, making it an
island. I know this because I worked on an archeological dig on that island.
Thus I have altered the map accordingly.
Old Albert, a native elder in the Native Community
of LaLoche told me the story of a native blacksmith who lived alone on that island
for many years. He was said to possess strange powers. The people in the village
of LaLoche could hear him play his fiddle in the evenings from a distance of
seven miles.
