On Friday, the children learned about native traditions. Two Bears at Pioneer Camp Two Bears showed up at Pio- neer Day Camp at the Scugog Shores Museum Friday morn- ing. But the kids and counsellors didn't run for cover. Instead, they sat in a circle and listened intently. Two Bears is an Abenaki Na- tion Indian who came to the museum to talk with the chil- dren about the importance of storytelling to the natives. Stories are "like our school. They teach us about life and things we need to know," he said. As an example, Two Bears told the children the story of a hunter named Gluskapi. Everytime Gluskapi went into the forest to hunt the ani-. mals would see him and hide. So Gluskapi asked his Grand- mother Woodchuck to make him a magic bag from the hair off her belly. Gluskapi took the magic bag with him the next time he went hunting. Again, the animals hid when they saw him. Gluskapi called out to the an- imals, saying "Hear me ani- mals. The world is going to be destroyed. It is going to rain for ¥ hy B® Two Bears, an Abenaki Shores Museum on Friday. In addition to sp native culture, Two Bears showed the childr right in one's backyard. EB WAR a long time and no one will sur- vive." He told the animals the only way they would survive was to hide inside the magicbag. The animals quickly abided by Gluskapi's advice. The mag- ic bag got bigger and bigger un- til all of the animals were in- side. Gluskapi, proud of his catch, slung the bag over his shoulders and headed home. On his return he told Grand- mother Woodchuck about the feast he had gathered. She was not impressed. "If we have all the food, how will our ancestors survive?" she asked Gluskapi. Two Bears said the story teaches children the impor- tance of animals and is a lesson on greed. : While sitting on the grass at the museum, Two Bears showed the children some of the food that can be found in the lawn. Plantane, a leaf-like plant, can be used as food or can be placed on a sore as a natural heal-all, he said. The root of a dandelion can be used as a coffee substitute, i] without having the effect of caf- feine. The leaves are tasty in salads or on sandwiches, and the flowers add lots of color to pancakes, Two Bears said. Clover can also be added to pancakes. Its honey-like flavor adds sweetness to the pan- cakes, he claims. Two Bears told the Port Perry Star he is working on a booklet on edible and medicinal plants from the marshes of Lake Scugog. He hopes to have it completed "sometime in the near future." He also hopes to instruct courses on the subject. After the storytelling ses- sion, Two Bears spoke to the children about medicine wheels which he described as a person- al shield that depicts the unique spiritual feelings with- ina person. Historically, Indians carried the medicine wheels on their arms, but they are more com- monly found as a decorative wall hanging today, he said. With the assistance of Two Bears and Lana Douglas, the children designed their own medicine wheels. 3 Yoige a : ' etry wf Nation Indian, visited the Pioneer Day Camp at the Scugog eaking on the importance of storytelling to the en many of the edible plants that can be found
