Origin/meaning
The Qu'Appelle River is named after a local legend, which tells that a Brave was paddling his canoe when he heard a voice calling. Going ashore he found nothing, and after that the River was called Who Calls or What Calls. Which the French transaltes as Qu'Appelle. The Fox is shown listening and refers to this, but also the Sonar and Radar of the Ship.
