Saturday walk: Flowers in our backyard: The spill cleanup: Scarecrow wearing a contamination jumper (these are very eerie in the swamps!) and fancy absorbent thingydos that are soaking up the diesel.

The students have been taking part in "Culture Camp". The girls work on traditional beadwork and the boys go out on the land on one skidoo and check traps and snares.

The Northern Rangers held their graduation ceremony today. James was their guest of honour. He inspected the troops, handed out the certificates and gave a speech.

Jet Lag

We are in the Edmonton airport awaiting our 3rd plane. (out of 5) We are travel weary but are staying at hotels on "company money". There is something very disorienting about taking flight after flight. Leaving Toronto. Hopefully our only bear encounter!
