Carrying the Canoe Through the Shield

A calm, slow telling of a true story to help you drift off. The portages of the fur trade: the ancient rock and countless lakes of the Canadian Shield, the worn paths between the water, the tumpline and the resting places called poses, and the quiet of a carrying place at night. Part three of three stories about the fur trade.

Soft rain plays throughout. No sudden sounds.
