Bannock, Goose, and a Baptism

This afternoon, Greta traditionally prepared bannock-on-a-stick & wild goose. The several hour operation from beginning to end (not counting the actual process of shooting, plucking, freezing, and preparing the goose before cooking!) ended in an amazing feast! Mashed potatoes prepared by the Jacob family, along with corn and bananna bread, completed the amazing dinner.

After supper a group gathered by the edge of the Rupert river for a baptism service. My brother, Cameron, was baptized by the Pastor and a church leader from the Washkaganish Cree Gospel Fellowship. The weather cooperated beautifully, and during the short service, the sun streamed through the clouds.

After the baptism, many of the people came back to "our" house" for a celebration. We ate, played games, and enjoyed great fellowship until late into the evening.
