Rat Island

A satellite image of Rat Island, a small island south of Whatì, on the south shore of Lac La Martre.

Rat Island is where the women and children and dogs were left while the men went trading. It was a safe place. The last time it was used in this manner, it was about 1930-1940.

Foresties came and tried to burn the island. Louis Simpson and Annie Simpson were married on Rat Island.
