Things to do in Saguenay

La Pulperie de Chicoutimi
The Pulperie Chicoutimi is a huge complex of cultural facilities and tourism devoted to the preservation and history of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, that sits next to the Chicoutimi River, with numerous structures that had belonged to the Chicoutimi Pulp Company, that converted mechanical wood pulp to meet the demands of a European market that began in the early 2oth century. This plant would cease its operations in 1930, and then be severely damaged by the flood in Saguenay during 1996. In 2002, the Musee du Saguenay moved here, and houses the majority of works by Arthur Villeneuve, who was a naive painter that lived in the region, and began painting the interior and exterior of his home with his amazing naive artworks. Naive painters don't have any type of schooling, and have become artists of great abilities through self teaching methods to obtain their great works of art. In 1984, this site would become a National Historic Site of Canada, and the following year made a historic site. Joseph-Dominique Guay, the mayor of Chicoutimi in 1896, would form the company called Chicoutimi Pulp, that would become the first French-Canadian company that would work in the pulp and paper industry, building a mill on the Chicoutimi River, with an immense stand of woods encompassing the region upstream, that would help the company grow very quickly during a short period, and become an exporter of international reputation. As the company grew, it would construct three mills altogether in the complex, with the river helping to transport the lumber, and become a source of energy for the region, so that it would become the world capital of pulp that would provide its products to England during WWI. In 1920, after the war was over, and many other companies around the world were growing, it would decline, until 1930, when it would close its doors forever. The flood of 1996, would devastate much of the area, including the museum, century old stone walls, landscaping and infrastructure, and more as the rushing waters of the flood went through all the structures, destroying everything in its path.

The Little White House Museum
To better understand why this small house in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada is such a phenomenal miracle, you must understand the background or great flood that hit the small town in Quebec. Included in the Saguenay flood of 1996, there had been a number of flash floods that gushed through the town on July 19 and 20th, 1996, that would become the largest overland flood in Canadian history and create a national monument to courage, persistence and determination. After receiving two weeks of rain, that had already filled the region with thousands of gallons of water, the rivers and reservoirs were overflowing, and because of the geological layout of the region, it would be amplified by what is known as a geological graben; and in just a few hours, more than eleven inches of rain poured down on the town and surrounding area. More than eight feet of water would flood through parts of La Baie and Chicoutimi, at one point leveling a complete neighborhood, with more than 16,000 people being evacuated. After the flood's barrage, it would be discovered that the dams and dikes that were supposed to help protect the area and especially the towns, were not maintained properly, and by the time all was said and done, 488 homes would be lost, over 1200 damaged, and ten people killed, because of the terrible mudslides that occurred after the torrential rains. At that time, many in the small town of Saguenay, realized that a small white house, referred to in French as La petite maison blanche, had stood in the midst of this horrendous destruction, with water flowing, gushing all around it, that has become a symbol of that flood, now preserved as a historical park and museum commemorating the flood, and even though a fire would rage through it in 2002, it still refuses to be destroyed. One good thing was discovered about the flood, that had covered heavily contaminated sediments that lay at the bottom of the Saguenay River and the Ha! Ha! River, with a new fairly clean amount of sediment that was anywhere from 4 to 20 inches deep; so that the old deeper layers are now considered a problem to the region's ecosystems.

Mashteuiatsh Amerindian Museum
Mashteuiatsh, found in Quebec, in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, some four miles from the center of Roberval, is a headland that juts out onto the western shores of Lake Saint-Jean that is called Point-Bleue and contains the old Ouiatchouan reserve that would be renamed Mashteuiatsh in 1985. It has its own health care center, library, fire station, community and sports center, arena, community radio station, water and sewer system, social services and police department made up of aboriginal natives; and home to the Mashteuiastsh Amerindian Museum that had been founded in 1977 dedicated to preserving the Innu cultural heritage. Before the European immigrants, fur traders and explorers arrived in the region, it had been used for a stopover place and camp for the indigenous Innu, until 1775, when a trading post would be established there, owned by English merchants John Gray and Thomas Dunn. The Commissioner of Crown Lands, John Rolph, would suggest that the Innu should be assigned a reservation near the Peribonka River, in 1853, that totaled some 16,000 acres and those that lived near Metabetchouan township, lying south of Lake Saint-Jean, would be given 4000 acres. However, since the Innu had traditionally lived around Pointe-Bleue, and loggers refused to honor their boundaries, they would petition the government to exchange lands where they now lived for those in the Ouiatchouan township that had Point-Bleue within its region; which would be granted in 1856, so the Innu would be given more than 23,000 acres of land in the region that became known as the Ouiatchouan Reserve. But like the Native Americans in the United States, it would be valuable lands that were coveted by the white settlers, traders and fur trappers, Hudson's Bay Company would open a trading post there in 1867, that would attract more white men to the region, with their families, so that by 1869, the Innu would have to give the government over 15,000 acres, and then another 2400 acres in 1895. By 1901, the reservation would be reduced further with the selling off of lots, and in 1911, the James Bay and Eastern Railway would be constructed through it, and when the Duke Price Power company came in in 1933, and raised the water level of Lake Saint-Jean, by more than 15 feet, only the lands surrounding the lake would be inhabitable.
