Old Trapper Cuts the Ribbon

12 years ago my wife's mother was honoured (post posthumously) by having a new Health Center on the reserve named after her in recognition of her life of service to the community. Earlier she also received a Silver Jubilee medal from Queen Elizabeth. So quite a pedigree I married into!Show more

Shown here is her surviving husband, cutting the ribbon. A trapper all his life, they are guessing he was 99 years old when he passed on. Back in the days of his youth there weren't accurate records of birth dates among the Dene Tha; just rough guesses made later on, once they were older (so he might even have been 100 or more). His trapline is still in the family, handed down to his eldest son now.
