When we lived in Big River. My mother ran a boarding house, this is where Elders from Whitefish would come stay at our place. This is where I met a lot of Whitefish Elders, last names like Whitefish, Netmakers, and Lewis’. I got to know all the old people from Whitefish here and this is where I got my knowledge from. And they always used to pick on me. And I didn’t know why. Now I know why today. They used to talk to me, my grandson, come here. I want to tell you something and they will tell me how it used to be in whitefish and how it used to be with other people. This is where I got all my information from, I’m at lost when I get asked about my own reserve because I didn’t have the same opportunity with the Elders there as I did with the Whitefish elders, Because of the residential school being away from the reserve and living in the town of Big River, then coming back to the reserve again. I learned from the outside so that I can strengthen my people in the inside that are still stuck in the reserve.
