The name Saguenay survived in many modern placenames. The modern-day Saguenay region, including the city of Saguenay ( Chicoutimi - Jonquière ), is on both shores of the Saguenay River in Quebec . It is part of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean administrative region. Today, the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region is sometimes referred to metaphorically as the Kingdom of the Saguenay (''Royaume du Saguenay''), for example in tourist marketing. It seems at least possible that the Saguenay legend has associations with Viking settlements in the Americas, notably at L'Anse Aux Meadows . Unrelated to the legend, a Micronational project in the Saguenay region, Le Royaume De L'Anse-Saint-Jean (''q.v.''), achieved a certain amount of prominence in 1997 . ''("Saguenay" should not be confused with " Saginaw ", a name of a River , Bay and City in Michigan, derived by the Ojibway .)'' SEE ALSO |
