Indigenous names or their English translations are used for place names in #PrinceAlbertNationalPark. Amiskowan Lake, on the Narrows Road, means "home of the beaver". Yellow Pond Lily and Water Persecaria inhabit this calm lake making it ideal for a peaceful paddle. #Waskesiu

In National Indigenous History Month, we reflect on residents of the area who were displaced by the creation of #PrinceAlbertNationalPark in 1928. This photo is Louis Lavall��e, a Métis man who settled his family on the shores of Pelican Lake, now called Lavallée Lake after him.
