Other folkloric creatures include the Nain Rouge of Detroit, Michigan and Chessie, a legendary sea monster said to live in Chesapeake Bay.

The Nain Rouge, French for " red dwarf " or " red gnome " is a mythical creature that originated in Normandy, France, as a type of lutin.

The Nain Rouge appears as a small childlike creature with red or black fur boots.

More recently, in the autumn of 1996, according to an article in the Michigan Believer, the Nain Rouge was spotted by two admittedly drunken nightclub patrons, who claimed to both have heard a strange " cawing sound, similar to a crow ," coming from a " small hunched-over man " who was fleeing the scene of a car burglary.

Detroit Beer Co., a brewpub in downtown Detroit, has as its signature brew a " Detroit Dwarf " lager, named in honor of the Nain Rouge.

Called the Marche Du Nain Rouge, this event is a revival of an early tradition in the legend of the Nain Rouge.

Each year, parade participants and spectators are encouraged to wear costumes so that when the Nain Rouge next returns, he will not recognize the persons who once again ousted him from the city limits and thus will not be able to seek personal vengeance.

At both the 2010 and 2011 events, an ad hoc organization calling itself The Friends of the Nain Rouge has protested the banishment parade, arguing that the Nain Rouge is not to blame for the city's ills and that considering Detroit's population loss, no one should be banished from the city, particularly those who have been there the longest.

On December 1, 2005, Nain became the administrative capital of the autonomous region of Nunatsiavut which is the name chosen by the Labrador Inuit when the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement Act was successfully ratified by the Canadian Government and the Inuit of Labrador.

Historically, this proceeded from the labours of Jean de Launoy ( 1603 – 1678 ), " le dénicheur des saints ", and Louis Sébastien le Nain de Tillemont, who had shown the falsity of numerous lives of the saints ; while theologically it was produced by the Port Royal school, which led men to dwell more on communion with God as contrasted with the invocation of the saints.

In 1967 the Mushuau Innu were settled in Utshimassits ( Davis Inlet ) on Iluikoyak Island located off the coast of Labrador Peninsula, inhibited the ability of the Mushuau Innu to continue their traditional caribou hunt on the mainland, therefore they were relocated in the winter of 2002 / 2003 to their new main settlement Natuashish ( speak: ‘ Nat-wah-sheesh ’), about 295 km north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and 80 km southeast of Nain, Natuashish located on the mainland is only 15 km west of Utshimassits, ethnically they are Naskapi, speaking the Eastern Dialect ( Mushuau Innu or Davis Inlet variety ) of Iyuw Imuun and writing in Eastern Cree syllabics, but split off and headed to Eastern Labrador, very few ( if any ) are able to write in syllabics any more, the majority of the tribe is Catholic, which use the Montagnais Bible ( which does not use syllabics ) and therefore use the Latin alphabet, Reservation: Natuashish # 2, ca.

Some research has focused on neodymium ( Nd ) and strontium ( Sr ) isotopic determinations for anorthosites, particularly for anorthosites of the Nain Plutonic Suite ( NPS ).

However, on its own, this hypothesis cannot coherently explain the origins of anorthosites, because it does not fit with, among other things, some important isotopic measurements made on anorthositic rocks in the Nain Plutonic Suite.

From there Mani returned to India by way of western Tibet, but Nain went on to Tashilhunpo, where he met the Panchen Lama, and Lhasa, where he met the Dalai Lama.

Although located at the same latitude as Ketchikan on North America ’ s west coast or Moscow in Europe, the influence of the Labrador Current gives Nain a borderline tundra climate ( ET ) and creates the southernmost tree line in the northern hemisphere on the adjacent coast, although the southernmost tundra is actually still in a zone of discontinuous permafrost rather than the much more typical continuous zone.

The evaporative cooling effect is strongest in the driest climates, such as on the Iranian plateau, leading to the ubiquitous use of windcatchers in drier areas such as Yazd, Kerman, Kashan, Sirjan, Nain, and Bam.
