Betsy and Saganaga: One Life, One Lake

Bag om Betsy and Saganaga: One Life, One Lake

This is the story about a relationship between a lake and a woman - it is a love story that has survived a depression, a world war, fire, wind, loneliness, government intervention and time. Betsy Powell has lived on Saganaga Lake for 66 years and at the age of 83, she lives there still, alone and without electricity or running water. Through her story, you'll learn how people acquired their drinking water from the lake, how they chopped blocks of ice for summer refrigeration and about the challenges they met in building, fishing and trapping. This woman with the bright blue eyes that lives at the end of the Gunflint Trail may be the last of a generation sustained by the lake. Her story is about the simple gift of relationship.
