Synopsis
Born in a tent on Bear Island, Lake Temagami, in 1908, Madeline Katt Theriault recalls an earlier independent and traditional lifestyle in the area more recently the subject of media attention through environmental concerns, native land claims and logging controversies.
The author proudly recalls her youth through vivid memories and by drawing on exceptional old family photographs. In her own words, she writes of a time long ago. A time that was difficult but not without personal rewards.
"Moose to Moccasins is a remarkable account by Madeline Theriault or Ka Kita Wa Pa No Kwe ('Wise Day Woman') who, in her own words, has lived 'in both cultures, Indian and white man's.' From her birth in the Temagami region in 1908, to her life in North Bay in the 1970s and 1980s, she takes the reader on a remarkable journey. We travel through the bush with her as a young girl. 'We killed animals only when needed and we could drink water anywhere. Our camp was always fresh; fresh balsam branches for our beds and floors in the camp. Such lively smells and the air was pure.' We step back into another century, into another universe. There is a wealth of information in these pages about a people, and a way of life, about which most non-natives know almost nothing."

In this book, the late author proudly tells of her youth and coming of age by sharing her vivid memories and drawing on exceptional old family photographs. In her own words, she writes of a time long ago -- a time that was difficult, but not without personal rewards.
