Does anybody know the name by which Stuart Lake was known before white man came along?

Yes, it is already in the article: Nak'albun. See the end of the history section.Bill (talk) 06:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More on John Stuart

I just got up and am mostly doing checking-type edits, so don't feel like integrating the following into the article's text just now; if someone else would care to please do so:

Named after John Stuart, North West Company, who accompanied Simon Fraser when he ascended the river in 1806 and established a trading post at the lake. In 1809 Stuart succeeded Fraser in the command of the New Caledonia district. He became a partner in the North West Company in 1813 and, after the merger of 1821, a Chief Factor in the Hudson's Bay Company. According to Father Morice, Stuart "seems to have been one of those well-meaning men who, unconscious of their own idiosyncrasies, make life a burden to others". Stuart retired to Scotland and died there in 1847.
