Quite a few of those around.  Not so much here on the Point but definetly quite
a few on the other side of the Harbour.  Someone(s) there obviously is looking
after them.

War mostly, but I suppose that is part of politics.  They can keep it.  ;-)

 PR> With Voyageur grandfathers it might be in their genes, eh?

No doubt.  However quite a few of them have settled in a few communities on the
Flatlands.  I know of one community where they are loud and proud.  I think
they picked a good location too.  Very nice scenery wise especially for the
Flatlands (Cowan Lake ... if I remember correctly).

 PR> For that matter, their grandmothers were related to the Dineh

They are big in northern BC and southern Yukon.  I've met a few of them.

Those I don't know.  New to me.

 PR> known to us as Navajo & Apache.

I've heard of those.  Definetly big in Hollywood or at least used to be not
that long ago.  I doubt any of that was highly accurate though.

 PR> south from Canada west of the Cree/Ojibway lands,

Ojibway!!!  I think that is who I was thinking about (Souix Lookout).  That
definetly rings a bell here.

You got me asking the same question about them.  Definetly new to me.

Life is good,
Maurice
