Description From Owner:

Babine (the French word for a large or pendulous lip) was applied by the early voyageurs to the Indians liv ing around the lake.
Once female Indians reached puberty, they wore a labret (a plug of bone or wood) in the lower lip, gradually distending it far beyond its normal shape.
Old Fort Babine (or Fort Kilmaurs) was founded in 1822, partly as a furtrading post but more importantly as a source for dried salmon should the Fraser River salmon run fail.
Babine Lake was known to the Carrier Indians as 'Na-taw-bun-kut,' or 'Long Lake.'
