The Reversing Falls Legend | Screen Printed Card | Micmac Indian Craftsmen, Big Cove Reserve, New BrunswickDescription
Back of Card reads: THE REVERSING FALLS LEGEND
Part of this tapestry depicts another legend which says that the ubiquitous Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe, were responsible for the now famous reversing falls. So many great feats were credited to Paul and Babe that this one seems well within the talents of the fabulous woodsman and his great blue ox.
Look out the window of the Travel Bureau and there is the site of both the legends. Use your imagination and you can see Glooscap, the beaver; Pau Bunyan and Babe on the waters below you.
