It was National Indigenous People’s Day yesterda

It was National Indigenous People’s Day yesterday. We spent the day on the reservation, celebrating with the rest of our island community.

I was also asked to do an interview where I shared what life was like leaving not only the reserve but also home for the first time at 12 years old.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Since our island only has an elementary school any child has to leave home in order to go to high school on the mainland.
Sometimes that means spending months away from your family, while you board with strangers. It’s hard now to imagine Penelope or Lake living with strangers at such an important time in their lives. But I did, and other students still do.

Since the weather is so unpredictable from October to March, we’re forced to leave otherwise we’d miss too much school. They ferry often stops running during those months due to high winds and unpredictable storms.

But that’s just ONE story out of hundreds of life on a reservation, and growing up Indigenous.

Are you planning any trips to the cottage or to the lake this summer? ⛵️ 🌞 🌊

The countdown is on for us, as we get ready to move into the cottage until the renovation is somewhat complete.

We knew this day was coming but it’s still happening so much quicker than we thought. Stay tuned for lots of island cottage content this summer!

Friends! We need your help with naming our newest

Friends! We need your help with naming our newest family member.

We had a discussion last night about what we should name our sweet boy! 🐶 🐾

I loved Winchester, or Winny for short. Scout was my first thought, Tony liked Dozzer, and Remi (Remington).

*I got a ton of questions about his breed, and he’s a German Shorthaired Pointer.
