The Mission

-26 and partly cloudy in Tsiigehtchic today.
Sunrise at 10:22 and Sunset at 17:54.
25 more minutes than my last blog!  A break in the storm at last!

It was cold and stormy over the last two days.
I was able to get out today and take some pictures.

I have not seen much wildlife although I saw some tracks outside the Magic Bus this morning.  Something was lurking around last night.

I was trying to get some pictures of the ravens but they were not out much today.
They are absolutely huge.  They make Alfred Hitchcock's birds look pretty tame.
They would eat those birds for breakfast.  I should have taken pictures yesterday.
They were out flying in the storm.  Apparently they like to soar amd play in the wind on stormy days.

Here are some pics of my walk today...

I heard the church bells ring this afternoon and I think some people went to the church for a makeshift service put together by the community.  I will have to check in on that next time.  There is a priest that comes very irregularily.  For a people devastated by the residential school system, there is a huge belief in God and the knowledge that he is the one who takes care of them on a daily basis.  There is a deep understanding that their experiences at the hands of religious people in the residential schools were not from the God that they look to for support every day.
