| Formed in the mid 1890's, this smaller native village contained about 50, residents. It also had a school, store, and a Catholic mission. After most pure blood natives died in the influenza epidemic, the remaining natives and metis (and one white family), simply left the site shortly afterwards. Main industries were, trapping, lumbering, and farming. Submitted by: Yvan P.Charbonneau |
