Mr.Morin:Well Dena, we are first Nations people. Our came to Canada a long time ago. At that time, there were no supermarkets. Our people always went fishing and hunting for food.
Dena:Were people healthy then?
Mr.Morin:They were very healthy. They spent a lot of time outdoors. They worked hard. And they ate good, natural food like fish and vegetable.
Dena:Was life hard at that time?
Mr.Morin:It was hard. 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.
Dena:We still have pow–wow dances today. I can’t wait for the pow-wow next years
