520 |a"It seems that the right way to start off this report is to describe how things used to be here before the influence of "white-man" became strong. The Whitefish Lake area was very important for the movement of the Woods Cree. Through this string of lakes and wide "creeks" people would move between the Lesser Slave Area (and even as far as the Mackenzie River basin) and the North Saskatchewan River. These lakes and the waterways had much more water than today. One could travel along the Beaver River, Whitefish Creek, across Whitefish Lake, then along the Whitefish Creek to Goodfish Lake, which in those days also included Reed Lake. Then there was one portage, about a mile long, onto the Garner Lake (which has since dried up slowly and has been separated into three lakes. Then it was on to Cache Creek which one way or another flowed through the Saddle Lake area onto the North Saskatchewan River - a very important route to the rest of Alberta and Saskatchewan (and even the Hudson Bay)"--p. 1.
