Zama Lake
Zama Lake is a large lake in Mackenzie County, in north-western Alberta, Canada. Major Ernest Wilson Hubbell, Chief Inspector of the Dominion Land Survey, recorded the name "Zammah River" in his field notes as the transliteration of the name of a Slavey Chief (Slavey Indians are now known as the Dene Tha' First Nation). The Geographic Board of Canada recorded the name "Zama River" on 4 July 1922 without explanation for the spelling change. The lake seems to be named in the same fashion and was named on 6 November 1944. The Dene Tha' do not use the name "Zama Lake", but use names in the Slavey language to identify the lake; some use ''K’ah Woti Túé'' (“Main Blind Lake” referring to a hunting blind) and others use ''Tulonh Mieh'' (“Where the Water Ends”). The lake is located approximately northeast of Rainbow Lake and west northwest of High Level, at the confluence of Zama River and Hay River.

Zama (novel)
''Zama'' is a 1956 novel by Argentine writer Antonio di Benedetto. Existential in nature, the plot centers around the eponymous Don Diego de Zama, a minor official of the colonial Spanish Empire stationed in remote Paraguay during the late 18th century and his attempts to receive a long-awaited promotion and transfer to Buenos Aires in the face of personal and professional stagnation. Di Benedetto drew heavily from Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. These existential themes of inward and outward stasis because of circumstance drive the novel's narrative as being constantly in motion yet never changing. Together with two of his other novels, ''El silenciero'' (1964) and ''Los suicidas'' (1969), ''Zama'' has been published as part of Benedetto's informal ''La trilogía de la espera'' (The Trilogy of Waiting). The novel is considered by various critics to be a major work of Argentine literature. Plot summary Don Diego de Zama is a servant to the Spanish crown in remote Paraguay. Se ...
