THE CAMP
Kwe..
In the late 1970's my three brothers and I were trapping and hunting
up Flat Bay Brook ,,Helch Gulch,where my Grand-father had a base camp.
He had two fox ranches....one in Fox Pond,and one in St. George's. He spent most of his life trapping and made a living for his family.
The Muise Clan and many other Mi'kmaw roamed this part of the country : They called it the Western Country.
We had a wonderful fall and learned many of the old trails, and tales in this neck
of the woods.
All my memories still today are with the land of our ancestors.

FAMILY TOGETHER
My life is a true story....
FAMILY REUNION
Decisions started on the health and well being of our Elders in the Muise Clan.
Then there were talks on events for this summer.
Eagle Elder Catcher, brother Lin , will be in Bay St. George with us for the summer months.
As a family so large, we still have respect for each path we took, and every one commended each other on their Journey.
I was honored with a Wind River Cap for next winter.
Then we had a feast and departed until the Fall Gathering.
