Eleven young people from Deer Lake First Nation along with two Leaders/Trainers set out from the end Nungesser Road on July 21 to paddle back to their community. The pictures from the trip tell the story of their wilderness adventure. The trip information sheet provides the details about the trip (also available as a Word document. The map of the route (click on the trip to view the later version) provides a glimpse of the 200km effort made by these young people in memory of their friend, Rick Leon Meekis who wanted to make this trip last year.

The 6th Annual Men's Baseball Tournament in Weagamow started on Wednesday, August 1 and runs until Saturday. August 04. There are four outside teams: 2 teams from Sachigo Lake, 1 from Kingfisher, and 1 from Muskrat Dam and three Local Teams.

We went to check out the games this afternoon. I think Weagamow is competing against Sachigo Warriors and another team from here is playing against Sachigo as well.

Have a nice weekend

Greetings from Fort Severn On the long weekend in July, Moses Kakekaspan Sr reported some strange footprints near his fishing net near the coast. Three days after the first report, I was taken out to have a look. The photos attached are a "real" record of what was seen. I shot the pictures and the roll of film was set to the Sioux Lookout Bulletin who had them developed. The scans were done by Kodak from the original 35 mm film. The location was about 12 km north of the community near the end of the "Road to the Coast". This is true tundra. It looks like something very large swam in from the Bay and was walking onto the land across the mud flats. What made the prints? No one has any idea. But if you have any thoughts, please let us know. It is clear that the footprints are about 16" long and there is a 6' stride between the right and a left paw print. These aren't impressions made by a polar bear in the mud.
