Tansi Swallow Like Santaman said. Many regs and for those of us who spend a lot of time in the bush hunting, its too difficult to do. So kids must go to school and learn the same 'history' you learn. I believe the subjects are just about the same as UK schools. They even teach us about...

Tansi/wadji The land where they take oil from the ground in in southern Manitoba, a long ways south west. A lot of interesting stuff there. By the way I'm not aware of Liyiyuu having had war against you moniyaw. Like white people what you call Crees are many 'groups', who consider...

Tansi Oh, dear did I start all this?. Sorry folks, was tired after a long and hard trip due to bad weather (too warm!! ha ha) when I posted my previous messages. They say more about me than criticism of you. And I aint got no axe to grind with what went on in the past. Well, Sort of...

When you use the word, they, who do you mean? All 1st Nations? Some? Or just the tribes you read about? ;-) Joe.

Why do many white people think we were all the same?

Are you implying that you - the anglos - live the 'happy clappy' life. Your wars kills, thousands and thousands of people. Mostly people who've done you no personal harm. Anyhows there were no Sioux ever this far north, nor Pawnees. For many native american indians there has been no...

Some kinds of trees - and we have many trees in our country - do this naturally when it rains in certain ways like f7144 says.

That sounds like you've been in a a bad place my friend. We could all do with an editing kit to remove the bad stuff from our life and actions. But we make our own luck I think and you sound like you have started to make your own too by moving south of the border to the states. Many indians...

I am glad you enjoyed your trip. Being alone in the woods and forests is a good way to reconnect with your soul and heart and to make you understand what things in life are important. To do a short trip in your canoe is also good. If you want to do longer trips they need not cost a lot of...

It looks like our friend the Raven. They eat dead animals and also mice, voles and the like. But they'll also eat some seed and berries. What the bird can't digest it brings it up and spits it out. I can't see very well from the picture but the berries may just be the remains of old berry...

If we're travelling well south of treeline, say N. Ontario or N.Manitoba we'll use it and the peeling bark is good for kindling as you may know. Further North up towards tree-line choice is mostly only pines, of which we have a few different species.

My friend from near Whitby told me you'd had a little bad weather today. Cold, wet and windy with some small flooding of village and town. Its -27 C here at the moment and the snow is about 3ft to 4ft deep and deeper in drifts. trapping season.

We do what Janna does and stamp out snow. Digging no good in deep snow!! Easy to light fire in snow as most wood for kindling and burning is dry. Rain not so good!

It sure looks like otter to me. Our otter is same as yours. Always smells like fish and shape is good too. I never smelt goose poo which smells of fish, but maybe different goose in UK eat fish? What would a goose feed on in your hill? If you are lucky and pull it apart you may see small...

Boil the resin in animal fat. Put through cloth and wring it hard till all the fat and resin comes out. Pure resin cracks and isn't flexib le enough for glue for sealing and things like canoe bark. Animal fat makes it flexible and won't crack. Enju

I read that bit by Charles Eastman with much interests and I thank you for sharing it too. Many folk brought up in towns or cities are poor observers when I've been with them in the forest or on the lakes and rivers. I noticed this too when in England I went out with two guys and a game...

Some of the pictures could be in Canada over the ground some of us hunt over.

Once Dave. Walking along a trail alongside a bank on a creek/stream. Heard a creature running at angle towards me through very low bush and calling with a high pitch note. Couldn't see it until it crossed the path a few yards ahead of me and down the bank towards the stream and out of sight...

It is a Domestic cat - sorry !±! No ear tufs ; Tail is cat not Lynx they have short bob tail, spots and strips all wrong too. Lynx much bigger than cat so you would not see top of body - have you measured hight of your camera in position?

We spend a lot of time in the forests but see this only few times - its pretty unusual - you are lucky. My mother used to tell us to not touch the stuff as she thought it was dangerous. We thought it was fun when we saw our 1st stump glowing in the dark and we rubbed it on our skin.
