“Jean-Yves Soucy’s story and encounter with my Dad provides a
charming glimpse into a changing world, for us all.”- Romeo
Saganash. It’s 1963, Jean-Yves Soucy is 18 and dreams of being a
fire warden scanning the boreal forest from a fire tower. But he
ends up at an equipment depot between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau.
To his delight, he is located near the Cree community of Wawanipi.
With two Cree guides, including a man named William Saganash, he
will be canoeing through the lakes and rivers of the region. On
each encounter with the Crees, Jean-Yves expects to see a new
world. Instead, he meets a different civilization, as different
from his own as Chinese civilization. Yet he knows nothing about
it. He wrote Waswanipi because Romeo Saganash, son of William,
insisted: “You have to write that, Jean-Yves. About your
relationship with my father and the others, how you saw the
village. You got to see the end of an era.” Provides a
Cree-English glossary.
