Spring Birds
This year there are fewer birds
than last spring even though from May to June people said there were
a lot of birds on the other side of the mountains even those that
were not allowed to be hunted like Canadian geese, White-fronted
geese, and the Black brant.
Last spring there were a lot of
them, but right now, after the molt there were just a few seen, and a
lot less than last year-after there were many of them during the
spring time.
But still there are a lot of ducks
and mallards seen during the spring, and there were a lot of cranes
seen around Black River all summer. Even though there were a lot of
them seen in other parts we never saw many on our own land around
here. There are usually a lot of swans during the fall time flying
around with their young. We don't hunt many swans, but when we do we
quit hunting when we've got enough.
Right now since they have the laws
we've quit hunting some birds because white people have made laws
against shooting them and they are watching them.
A long time ago when I was young
there were a lot of geese. There were lots of Emperor geese and the
larger Canadian geese in those days. Even though they were hunted
they didn't decrease. Nothing happened to them even though they
killed a lot of them when they only belonged to us Natives a long
time ago when we tried to make them our food. But right now, although
we don't hunt them like we used to, they are not increasing.
Everything here is decreasing, it seems.
The animals that we hunt or trap
here now have limits on them and there are no longer very many left.
Because they are made by God, these animals increase each summer then
they decrease again by spring. But surprisingly they increase again
in the summertime. And every year it used to be that way. But now
things have sadly changed. That's all I have to say.
