Description: An account of a descent of the Kazan River in 1894.  "In previous years it had been learned that the Chippewyan Indians regularly used a canoe route from Reindeer lake northward up Ice river, and across many lakes and portages, to the head of Kazan river, which flowed northward or eastward … the river is now known to be obstructed by one or two falls and many swift and dangerous rapids, and to flow into the south side of Baker lake in chesterfield inlet, not far form the mouth of the Telzoa river" (1895: 445-446).
