Newfoundland and Labrador rethinking plan to rename Red Indian Lake after criticism

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. The Newfoundland and Labrador government is walking back its plan to rename Red Indian Lake following criticism from local residents about a lack of consultation. The Office of Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation issued a joint statement today with Indigenous leaders saying the government will “pause and reflect” on the naming of the lake and offer residents a chance to have their say. The government introduced a motion last week to rename the lake Wantaqo’ti Qospem, which means “peaceful lake” in the Mi’kmaq language. The motion prompted Derm Corbett, mayor of the nearby town of Buchans, to write a public letter to government saying his community was disrespected and ignored by the decision.
