Lesson 41: Were People Healthy Then?
Dena Morin and her grandfather, Mr. Morin, are fishing at the lake
Grandpa,did people go fishing a long time ago?
Well Dena, we are First Nations people.
Our people came to Canada a long time ago.
At that time, there were no supermarkets.
Our people always went fishing and hunting for food.
Were people healthy then?
They spent a lot of time outdoors.
And they ate good, natural food like fish and vegetables.
Was life hard at that time?
But people were healthy and happy.
After a hard day of work, people rested and played together.
In the evenings,they often made a big fire.
Some people played the drums and others danced around the fire.
They called this dance the pow-wow.
We still have pow-wow dances today.
I can't wait for the pow-wow next year!
