From the website: A Blog about "The Forest" (Noopemig in Oji-Cree) and the People who live there. John Cutfeet has returned in a new position with Wildlands League as its Aboriginal Watershed Program Coordinator or Anishinini’ow Niipii’ow Anokiinakun in Oji Cree. John's focus is to be a resource to communities in Ontario's Far North on watershed protection and on resource proposals that may impact those watersheds.
From the website: "It is important to be able to identify trees that have been traditionally a necessity in the Ojibwe culture and have been used as a basic resource, such as birch trees. The birch is a significant tree of the Great Lakes, all parts of the tree; the bark, sap, roots, wood, and leaves offer valuable resources. Ojibwe communities have long recognized the value of birch and hold it in high esteem."
