That we don't know who we are. 1 think the idea was started by a few over-zealous nationalists who forgot that we are ail living out brief spans on a small planet in a big universe about which we know very littie. We just happen to have beeri born at a certain time, in a certain country; of certain diverse cultures which have dovetailed into a certain way of life., We're lucky. We live in an environmient that has some of the most beautiful and useful natural resources in the world. If we were as smart as the birds and animais and flowers we'd let it stay thati way, and enjoy il. The North American Indian Lqnderstands that better than the rest of us. But hie has the edge. He's been here for centuries. t's his natural envîronment and his needs and desires blend into it. Rick Nash, a young man who came tci Canada about, 10 years ago, is aware of that too. He was a success- fui commercial photographer in New York, but lie has always had a yen for nature and the natural life. So hie and his wife and children moved up to the Haliburton Highlands in northeastern Ontario. He Iearned how. to make canoes - the Indian way. He studied native cul- ture and traditional native methods of malçing things. He found that authentic native-made snowshoes were hard to find. He went to the eastern shores of James Bay where a few Cree tribes were still mnaking the real thing. He watch'led. He Iearned. He leaIrned well. Both his canoas and snowshoes are now in national, museums. In his log cabin workshop framed by the forests sur- rounding Dorset, ýmagnificant authentic Indian snowý,shoes hang on the walls. 1 watched him as he squatted on the floor near the woodstove, and began to wield a crooked knife. The birch he- had cut f rom a nearby forest was slowly trans- formed, t would becomne the frame of a Westerni Cree snowshoe make in an uncompromnisingly traditional way. ~Rik is almost alone in. this work, even emiong na- tives, and as a resuit an important Canadian tradition lives on. Nash has no qualms about Canadian ldentity. He knows its rmots. He sees it every day in the forests and streamys, and senses it in hîs work. The irony of it is that he's an American. Or hie may be a Canadian. I didn't ak Somehow, it didn't matter. Awood splitters p-îractical FED. 0F ONT.
