As I prepare to leave for the airport, I reflect on the week gone by. Looking outside, I fully understand the meaning of the word Elsipogtog - River of the Sacred Fire. I am told it refers to "the red blazing reflection of the setting sun which appears seemingly like fire". I cannot help but wonder though if it also refers to the sunrise?

My ancestors have said the "River of Fire" also refers to bonfires on the beach that indicated to canoe travelers the opening of the river.
