On the reservation

[maddave]

Went on a great trip yesterday to a place called Duck Bay in Manitoba. It's a First Nation reservation and the lake was solid enough to drive a 4x4 on. The locals were friendly, knowledgeable and very proud of their culture. We even stopped and had a chat with the local police officer who was surprised to see English folk showing an interest in their small town. I think sometimes indiginous people are misunderstood and feared in some cases. I say get of yer **** and immerse yourself in their culture and heritage, it's a rich and rewarding experience

This is very cultural, shame we can't ship them here off the native Americans

I managed to drag swmbo round a few museums when we were over there for our honeymoon. Mostly early explorer stuff but it was still fascinating.

I'm going travelling around Canada in the Summer. I'm hoping to spend some time with some first nations learning how to make birch canoes .
