What I did this week: This was another basic work week, I was in Weagamow First Nation (aka Round Lake aka North Caribou Lake - although I did learn this week that it is Weagamow, which translates into English as Round Lake, but the settlers named it North Caribou which is now it's government name … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 6
