I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it takes me.

I am not First Nation, and do not profess to know their history
I can only relate what I read.
I know they were here in this area,
long time before the Europeans shown below.
I will leave their history to them to record
