Description
As our elders are advancing into their golden years, or passing on to another world, it becomes increasingly necessary to record their wisdom and knowledge. With the arrival of convenient modern technology, we, the younger generation, tend to forget the expertise that our grandfathers and grandmothers tried to pass on to us. Thanks to Robbie and Charlotte Koosees for sharing their knowledge of Omushkego Cree style snowshoe making.
