It was the year that I turned six, but I have many memories of that summer because I had to tag along on the hikes into the bush to find appropriate trees and recollect making beds and cradles for my dolls with scraps of the birch bark. Kokum supervised the construction of five canoes that summer...she was adamant that the job be done right! Now that I'm old I see her point. It's time I make sure someone out there knows how to build birch bark canoes. I'm doing a series of paintings that will eventually illustrate the process, but in the meantime you can sort of get the idea.

(He's a couple of years older than me but we grew up in the same neck of the woods, so to speak.) The whole subject starts here. Sat, 11 Feb 2006 05:55:20 GMT http://www.native-art-in-canada.com/creationstory.html Given that the Anishnabe (Ojibwa to you) lands stretched from what are now the Carolinas in the south to the tree line in the northern part of the continent, it's no wonder that there are various versions of how the world was created, especially when you consider the transportation and communication available in years gone by. But this is my story ... and I'm sticking to it.
