This is the site for a picture of the community I am in. There is a dentist in town (working at our clinic) for the 2 weeks I am here ,a lovely young man, and he and I went for a long walk after work yesterday. We walked across the boardwalk bridge that is at the front of this picture and found an old cemetery on the island. Evan (the dentist) wanted to read names and dates but there were just simple white wooden crosses, some with wreaths hanging over them. On our walk we also found a moose skull (huge!) just outside someones back door but obviously garbage so Evan picked it up and I think he is going to try and take it home to Toronto. He was admiring the size of the teeth!! Go figure!
http://www.flora.org/nancy/photos/Sachigo-Lake/index.html Here are some more pictures of Sachigo Lake. I am working and living in the clinic which is probably the nicest building and well cared for property in the community! There is a new airport building now but the building on the right side(in the picture) is still the security building where they check everyone's bags when they arrive in the community. They are looking for street drugs and alcohol (both banned in these native communities). When I came in they checked the bags of the young couple who got off the plane with me but he waved me through. I guess I don't have the face of a drug dealer or smuggler! The school is just across the road from the clinic and there is a literacy camp going on now so I sometimes here voices of kids playing which is rather nice. Makes me think of home! which I am missing terribly!
I will post again soon. Bye for now.
