Description: Review of "The Witch of Port LaJoye".
(May 01, 1984)
Charlottetown, Ragweed Press, c1983. This Micmac legend is still told in many versions, and this is a chilling one. Long ago Glooscap warns a Micmac chief named Kiotsaton that he should not camp beside or enter the waters of a beautiful lake called Minnewauken. Kiotsaton refuses to move, and the evil lake spirit takes the life of his son and daughter. Glooscap allows the spirit of his daughter to live on in a healing stone hidden in the deepest part of the lake. Hundreds of years later, a beautiful Basque girl, La Belle Marie, becomes engaged to a Micmac brave Kaktoogasses. She is wounded by other Indians, and Kaktoogasses heals her with the magic stone, which then crumbles to dust. Kaktoogasses is killed on his wedding day, and La Belle Marie is burned as a witch.
