Voices from the wilds / Viola Menow.

Menow, Viola, (author.).

Summary:

"Biography of two Cree men - father and son - who had a huge impact politically, environmentally, socially, and to their families. Because of their influence, the First Nations people of northern Manitoba had better natural resource management, better education, improved medical facilities, improved transportation and in general better lives. This book contains the speech that Albert R. Sinclair gave to Parliament in Ottawa in 1938. Both the father, Albert R. Sinclair, and the son, Charles H. Sinclair, were in their time, chief, fire ranger, and game warden. Their wisdom, stories and memories live on in the lives of their many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren."-- Provided by publisher.
