Description From Owner:

Lac Le Jeune - Originally known as Fish Lake. Renamed in honour of Father Jean-Marie Raphael Le Jeune, OMI (1855-1930), who arrived from France as a missionary priest in 1879.
He served first in the East Kootenay, then at Williams Lake, and finally at Kamloops.
Using the Chinook jargon printed in the French Duployan shorthand, he published for the Indians a number of books and one newspaper, the Kamloops Wawa (wawa is the Chinook jargon word for 'talk').
