Snowshoeing and Cree Culture in Northern Quebec March 14-25, 2012
Hulbert Outdoor Center A Program and Facility of The Aloha Foundation, Inc. Fairlee, VT 05045-9400 802-333-3405
ARE YOU LOOKING A CROSS CROSS--CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE?? Active learners who are open to new experiences, and enjoy camping, are invited to travel with staff from Hulbert Outdoor Center in Fairlee, Vermont, to Northern Quebec, to learn more about the ancient James Bay Cree culture. Our group will be based in the newly created village of Ouje Bougoumou, a community which strives to use the best of both traditional culture and the modern world. Ouje Bougoumou has been recognized as a model aboriginal community by the United Nations. We will travel, by foot and snowshoe, to a bush camp with the family of Anna and Dave Bosum, our Cree hosts. In the beauty and quiet of the bush we will learn the traditional skills from Elders who live off the land as their ancestors have for thousands of years. We will experience the stunning and wild beauty of Northern Quebec in the late winter. Our group will stay in traditional prospectorstyle wall tents with woodstoves and floors of spruce boughs. The nature of this trip demands participants to be physically active, flexible and adaptive, since traveling in the North is sometimes unpredictable. Weather and time schedules occasionally leave us open for unexpected adventure and wonderful opportunities. Our group of 7-10 will be from a variety of backgrounds, but all will be students of life. The trip will begin and end in Ouje Bougoumou. However, participants who want to travel as a group may choose to take the Hulbert van from Fairlee to Ouje Bougoumou. Participants also have the option of meeting us in Quebec City or Chibougaumau. Participants are responsible for travel meals to and from Ouje Bougoumou. We estimate this cost to be under $35. USD. The Center and the Bosums will provide all camping gear except sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and personal equipment. Bags and pads may be rented . The trip is moderately demanding, since the schedule is full and we are snowshoeing and walking. As with all Hulbert trips, your health care provider must sign your health form.
