Portfolio Description

“I landed in the old airport, on the Canadian side. There was a check point there. Father Charlie was the one who met me and two brothers who were also teaching in North West River. It wasn’t Sheshatshiu before, it was just North West River, the whole thing: the Indian side and here is all North West River. So Father Charlie drove me to the [Goose] river and there’s no bridge yet…” – Epitacia “Pitt” Catre Bruce, “I Wanted to Come Back”

“By 1975, my brother Sam and I had been into motorbikes for a few years, and we wanted to go beyond Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The road to Churchill Falls had been opened, but it had been neglected for the last few years…” – Eldred Davis, “Motorbiking”

“But then Ruth and them came in, and where could we move? Tom and them didn’t want all of us in the house. Victor Goudie was my mother’s brother. Uncle Vic said ‘You got to come in, we’ll find somewhere for you to live in.’ And I said, ‘What about that chesterfield?’ He said, ‘Sure, you can’t all get on that!’” – Charlie Pardy, “I Have No Regrets”
