http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/Sometimes I look at the world and ask myself are you people all crazy? ...or is it me?hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/582291Over the next few weeks as we found ourselves going into spring, not a great deal happened. I caught up some of my lessons in school, Mummu became more mobile and had gained the eye of a recovering young lady. We had one more large fish harvest before our yields began to dissipate. The day I had...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/580079The next few days were uneventful. Mummu was becoming more mobile but still had not ventured out of doors, Sydney had rejoined his class while Seerah was lying in bed all day, heavily drugged recovering from having parts of her feet amputated. Martin had decided that his formal education was...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/578839The rest of our day was planned for us, we would make one round trip with our three dogsleds from the Cree village, to the trading post, to the Robinson house, then return the same way. Martin, Sydney and I were headed out for one of the types of forays we just loved, especially when Mr. Robinson...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/577580The three of us, Sydney, Mr. Robinson and myself set out early from the Robinson house to meet Martin at the Cree village. He was there when we arrived and had informed Honah of our impending arrival, which is the proper way to do things. We brought about 200 pounds of cleaned and frozen...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/575209Only Mr. Robinson understood the significance of what was taking place. We were transporting an unmarried young Cree woman at the cusp of her traditional mating years to have her future altered. For a young woman to be crippled during this time of her life would render her a pariah in her...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/573017On our way back to the Robinson house, even the fact our dogsleds were loaded with the largest yield of fish we had ever had, I was feeling a bit gloomy. It had taken me 3 years to work my way up to a 10 dog team, it lasted all of 5 weeks before I was back down to 6 dogs. It was not the act of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/571786When we arrived back at the Robinson house, Mummu was sitting at the kitchen table with a small crowd around him. This was the first time he had hobbled from his bed since his beating and though in pain, was enjoying the attention he was getting. Sydney, the two girls from the Northern Algonquin...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/571437Walking from Sister Neverhadaman's office with Mummu's file under his arm, Mr. Robinson asked us to get ready to leave, his mind seemed to be percolating with thoughts. Bundling up our two passengers, Sydney and I headed the dogsleds back to the Robinson house. It was a clear, moonlit evening,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/571228Not much happened over the next couple of days, I went back to school and kept an eye over my shoulder for janitors. It was erie, nothing happened, no one even mentioned Mummu's beating. Sydney stayed with his class at the Robinsons. I made a couple of trading post runs for Mr. Robinson but about...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/gomedome4491/570438By the time we arrived at the Robinson house, Mummu had drifted back into unconsciousness, his eyes had blackened but it seemed as if the swelling around his face was going down. As we pulled under the overhang behind their house, Mr. Robinson and his wife Hanna met us there, they were visibly...
