BOOK NEARING PUBLICATION

"THROUGH  THE  EYES OF THE  WHITE  WOLF"

It has been  fifteen years off dedication.

 Why?  Because this is a generation of discovery.

 This is what my Pro-Editor from the University of Manitoba, has to say about my book:

"I have finally finished your book. Wow! It is such a journey, perhaps like your life. 

I didn’t imagine it would be so extensive, covering everything from animals and the land to your perspective on the richness and poverty of people at different times. 

Some of your sentences are strikingly beautiful to read as well, so thank you for that too!

 And it’s great to read about the people of Bay St. George/ Newfoundland and to learn more about that place (and place names!) and all of the different people who live and who have lived there.

 And the stories are so-wide ranging and fascinating; I love the pirate story about the dead baby. Your discussions about the importance of land, of language and of respecting women are very compelling as well. 

And the teachings at the end are a powerful addition. I can tell that so much thought and work went into writing this book."

It's going to be awhile before I knowing actually : what time ,where,and when it will be published. But, we are closer .

GRAVE SITES

Grave Sites
In Western Newfoundland bodies were buried along banks of rivers, sacred places called graveyards ,close to settlements, where people lived year around.

 Anthropologists have  found bones of people that lived here  centuries ago. Because of the weather conditions and the times that people may have arrived, little is known .There are  only the bones they found , for example: in Southern Labrador, the bones were not rotten, when they were found, so this means they had to be buried quickly, probably by earthquakes or floods. 

That could mean people lived here 20-30 thousand years ago, even lounger. The baby’s body they found is still a mystery to me.

Science suggests  that a quick burial  happened because a lot of bones were together, otherwise bones would become fossils, then they would have to be found in sandstone.  That would be covered by sand and mud and settled to become sediment in the earth.

Over thousands or millions of years Newfoundland’s formation changed to its present state: mountains, rivers and sea. In years to come hundreds of bones and fossils will be found throughout Bay St. George for scientists to study as the rain and wind are still cutting away our hills and we can see the surface of our earth. I would leave this specifics to the specialists .

To begin any journey in life, you must have ancestors that lived throughout different places and times in Bay St. George and abroad. Where they were born, raised, worked and reared there children, and then died was most likely where people were put to rest.

Before 1891 no requirements were necessary for burials in western Newfoundland. A place you lived and with your loved one’s, this place,was your resting area after life. 

Then the decision was determined by elders to bring people to their respectful site in a special area. Your land you lived on sometimes became the site your remains were kept. 
Sometimes just stone mounds were used for markings. Others were buried  near cliff sidings, along banks of rivers/sea. Different districts were established and each family clan had their own special graveyard.

This chapter on grave sites is beyond any collection of Manu scripture of any sort.

 I have traveled extensively to land sites on this country in NL, only too open the awareness, and to have honored   the women/men, our ancestors, the forerunners of our culture in the whole of NL.), that lay  on the great unknown, a new land with areas on the inland waters, 

There are still sacred places, that have  not yet been touched by humans.

This is my third greatest challenge in my life. The first is to prepare myself to live, then live and now prepare to die. 

There are many things humans can accomplish in life but where you live, here on this earth, after you are  gone, you are  bonded back to earth in another space of light, but your memories and what you leave  behind will always flow back to the future life. 

My head stone will be the seeds that my Great-grandfather and my mother/father and I leave all throughout Bay St. George, Western Newfoundland and the memories that lay in this book will give destiny to my great -grand children and others that follow the side of my foot steps of the past.
