Qu'Appelle Valley

The Qu'Appelle Valley gets its name from the Indian legend about a young brave who is going on a journey in his canoe, but soon after setting out the beautiful young maiden he loves falls ill, and calls his name. Although some miles away, he hears her voice and turns around with the cry "qu'appelle?" - who's calling? When he gets back home the maiden is dead, and it is said that ever since his cry can be heard echoing through the valley.

Pauline Johnson, the well-known Indian writer at the turn of the century, enshrined the valley in several of her poems.
