Waskaganish, days 2-4

One of the streets in the town.

Hi folks, things are chugging away here. I've collected two populations and conducted one interview! Had hoped to collect another yesterday but it looks like Ashleigh hallucinated seeing them on the blueberry fields near town. But it meant I spent the afternoon working with a really interesting guy, the town's environmental officer, and discussing lots of different topics. I also ended up getting cake and ice cream while talking to an archeologist whose worked here for a long time. Going to go follow up on a tip I got yesterday at some point today, hopefully the fog and moisture we have right now will burn
off. Here are some of the pictures I've taken so
far, its really a beautiful spot here, and having berry bushes everywhere to munch off certainly doesn't hurt!
The Rupert River going into James Bay. (below) A smokehouse and a hide being tanned.

Anna: the pics look fabulous. If you get a chance, stick you toe into James Bay - either here or the community farther north. Hope you find the elusive Mtn Ash tree stand today and continue to have interesting adventures. Love, Mum and Dad
