Some of the northern communities in which I have lived and taught are places that very few Canadians or tourists will ever get to visit. Here are photographs and some notes about four of those remote communities.
Deer Lake is a First Nations community located on the Deer Lake Indian Reserve. The Deer Lake First Nations Band members speak a dialect of Oji-Cree. The community is a fly-in community located in northwestern Ontario very near the Manitoba border.
Split Lake is a First Nations community located on the Split Lake Indian Reserve. The Split Lake Cree First Nations also call themselves the Tataskweyak Cree Nation. The community is located approximately half way along the dirt and gravel highway between Thompson and Gillam in northern Manitoba. Among the photographs are pictures of two York Boats.
Fond du Lac is a First Nations community on the Fond du Lac Indian Reserve. This fly-in Dene community is located on the north shore of Lake Athabasca where the lake narrows into a thin finger at the eastern end. Fond du Lac is one of the most northern communities in the province of Saskatchewan, very near the boundary with the Northwest Territories.
Turnor Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada (2008-2009)The Turnor Lake community consists of both the Northern Hamlet of Turnor Lake and the Turnor Lake Indian Reserve. Most of the population are First Nations members of the Birch Narrows Dene Nation, but there are some Metis and non aboriginals living in the community. Turnor Lake is located at the end of a dirt and gravel highway in northwestern Saskatchewan.
