Slumach, accused of shooting Louis Bee and then fleeing, was tried for murder. The trial took mere days and the jury reached a guilty verdict in just 15 minutes, even though no witnesses for the defence were called or testified and, in the end, Slumach was hanged for murder. But what if we told you the official accounts don’t tell the whole story? In this episode we walk along the same reedy shores and sleep under the same stars as Slumach did in the late 1800s to learn from the land. The Pitt Lake region is the scene of the crime; the lake, and the silent mountains surrounding it, are the only witnesses that remain and they hold the truth behind the legend, the curse, and the gold.
