Thanks Keith: Well, some urban stuff is handy, like toilets that flush, hot showers, and toliet paper, telephones, the computer...
But anyway, here's a pic of my daughter in one of my old jackets (NOT real fur!) It was made by a woman from Tadule Lake (northern Manitoba) and is one of the best made and warmest jackets I ever had. I'm pretty sure it's real deerskins tho. Might be caribou or moose? If I could still fit into it, I'd wear it myself. I dearly miss the "bush" life, but it was a lot of hard work too! I DON'T miss skinning rabbit, filleting fish, or sitting in the cold waiting for a deer to walk by, but I certainly miss eating them! What I wouldn't do to go out and split wood and haul water with my dad just one more time *sigh*
Forgive her for looking peeved, she just woke up and it's exam day. |

I'm too old and wussy to live completely in the bush without flush toilets and the like. Still, I enjoy being connected enough to harvest part of my needs from nature.
Nice jacket and daughter! |

Yes it was my dad's. She can play it a little, but not well LOL.
Sad thing is, that chanter has elephant ivory. It was made a long time ago, when the hunting for ivory was allowed. See the hidden message there? |
