Tammy Cook-Searson is Chief of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (seen here with husband Jim Searson).
Switching things up a bit tonight, with the video links at the top. Click here for the touching interview with Tammy Cook-Searson, filmed in Regina on May 10. There's also an interview with Tammy's brother-in-law Al Searson (whose mother is Cree). PS. We were still trying to smooth out our audio glitch in Regina.
Today was an amazingly full day, beginning in Dryden, Ontario, and landing in Thunder Bay for the night. It was tricky getting interviews in Dryden because our motel was on the highway and we didn't have time to get downtown. The customers at the Canadian Tire across the road were too busy to be interviewed (it being the lunch hour probably didn't help!). Yet, Dryden's a friendly place. Dave, the owner of the Timberland Motel, even drove us to the bus terminal.
After that, it was clear sailing all the way. We interviewed Sharon Taker at the bus terminal, Katie Colling on the bus to Thunder Bay, Chris Kriszka in the cab to the hotel, and Bruce Adderley in the Java Hut restaurant.

Sharon Taker shared about the love that saw her through homelessness.
Katie Colling has been studying in New Jersey and is travelling before returning to her home in Melbourne, Australia.
Chris Kiszka, our Thunder Bay cabbie, had some words of love about pets.
Bruce Adderley gleaned a lot of common-sense wisdom from his years of teaching. He took us on a tour of the Thunder Bay waterfront.
