Kingdom of Saguenay


Kingdom of Saguenay (Royaume du Saguenay)

Saguenay region is on both shores of the Saguenay river in Quebec. It's part of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean administrative region (is the flag used in Lac-St-Jean also? I don't know...).

The name "Kingdom of Saguenay" takes its origin in a legend from the beginning of the French colonisation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. According to the Algonquian Indians, there was a Kingdom of white, blond men rich of gold and furs to the north in a place they called Saguenay.

French explorers looked for this kingdom in vain... Today, some people speculate it was an ancient, pre-Columbian settlement that the Algonquian oral tradition referred to.
