The Reversing Falls Legend
A Micmac Legend
In the long ago beaver dammed the mouth of the Saint John river.
It made a big pond for him, but it also flooded the homes of many
other animals as muskrat and duck. Kluskap was called upon to save
his many animal friends from the selfish beaver. Part of the tapestry
design shows Kluskap chopping away as beaver sits glumly by. His
axe is in a split rock which you can see at the base of the falls
when the tide is low.
