We've been up to Moosonee a few times and after taking the Polar Bear Express back to Cochrane, we would always drive through the night to make the Park by early morning rather than stay in Cochrane..not my kind 'o town. Now Moose Factory and Moosonee..That's a cool place........eating bannock in a tent with the Cree, and riding the long canoes...Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend and I spent the most awesome day there last summer and we plan to go back again this summer a few times. It's only an hour away from where we live. In fact, my drum group and I will be camping there for a weekend this summer. We'll be drumming the whole time....around a huge fire. Can't wait. If you and your wife would like to join us, maybe we can plan it out? Lemme know and when I get the details i'll let you know. As for the Cree Natives, there are lots in my city. But it's predominantly Ojibwe. I'm surrounded by First Nations Reserves. My girlfriend and I are planning to go to one of the big Pow-wows somewhere around here this summer.

Man I've loved native culture since way back. When I lived in Scottsdale Arizona for a couple of years I never missed 'Prada del Sol " ..that was Rodeo time but there was/is a national gathering of tribes from all over the Americas that Pow-wow for several days. And the Mexican festivities are Awesome. At this time, some of the Oklahoma people are on Vision Quest and mitote in the Sonoran Desert, sacredly and preciously gathering peyotle(actually Mescalito finds them) for there song and ceremony.....WONDER of WONDERS! In those years, even as a high school student, my dad had me cover(for the 'Scottsdale Daily Progress', as a photographer) many of the visits to the Reservations by the Secretary of the Interior(at that time, Stuart Udall), Barry Goldwater, who was our State Senator and lived in Scottsdale and even JFK. It was Amazing! There was a lot of Hollywood celebreties and film production always going on too, but I was far more awesticken by the cultures of the true Americas and Americans. ..........bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
