Lovely and I bet the environment was a lot better off when that culture held sway. I have this romantic idea of the North American continent before Europeans got there. Always the education from you Dora.
Just because I happen to be reading Boswell's life of Johnson and not because I'm well read at all. https://www.johnsonessays.com/the-idler/indians-speech-countrymen/
Most of Johnson's views are hard to take but this is more palatable.

The Mi'kmaq (until recently known as the Micmacs) were a peaceful tribe that helped the new arrivals immensely. The first Scots that arrived in Pictou would never have survived the first winter without their help. The French in Annapolis suffered and died from scurvy until the native people showed them how to extract vitamin C from birchbark. In return, once the colonist were established, Governor Cornwallis put a bounty on them and they were hunted and killed like animals. They survived as a people unlike some similar peaceful tribes that were hunted to extinction. Our history as it relates to the First Nations is not a proud one.

I wish I could hear the stories and meet the man.
He was very good at this. I'm not sure if he's still doing it; as you can see he was not a young man. But the last time I had the privilege of being at one of his presentations, his daughter was with him and obviously being groomed to take over. Dora
This is so very interesting Dora. Thank you for the story that he told. A very good picture of him too. I see this was taken 9 years ago, maybe his daughter is telling the stories now. I will always think of him when I hear the eerie call of the loon now.
Excellent Dora..Lin
You are a story teller as well, Dora....and these two photos I think truly captured the soul of this man. Neither of our countries has a proud history....what was done here, the crimes against native peoples, are our Original Sin as a country. Slavery was our Second Original Sin.

Dora to be honest I don't watch much tv so I'm at the computer most of the time. I have so many ideas and working out how to make them happen keeps the brain cells working. Most the time I have to put them into an action as this time tomorrow the way I have done something is gone. The main thing is all aboutfun doing it, like most things...
Reply to Robert. I haven't owned a TV in years. Like a man I once knew who wouldn't eat soup. He said one day that would be all he could eat and he didn't want to get tired of it now. Photography, writing and a few other things I do keeps the brain active. TV lulls it to sleep. I am admiring work such as yours and try to duplicate it but there are limits to what I can do with the camera and software that I have. But fun to try. Dora
This is a very strong image and interprets its composed meaning very well I think the simple life of enjoying what we have rings very true particularly in the current circumstances
