Worth shucks – Not worth anything at all
THE END
notes
1
The first Cathedral was destroyed by fire immediately after completion, when all the parish records were destroyed.
2
It is a native custom thus to hang streamers to some bush after a prayer. The disappearance of such is a sign that the Spirit is pleased and will grant the desired favour.
3
Lake Winnipeg.
4
The less known Little Saskatchewan empties itself into the lake on the opposite side, about forty miles further south.
5
The Queen.
6
See Glossary.
7
Winnipeg – then Upper Fort Garry.
8
Manitoba. So called from its derivation, Manitou-toopah.
9
Lake Winnipeg.
10
Such is the literal translation of 'Menotah.'
11
To the heathen Indian, an oath such as this is absolutely infrangible. The converted native quickly comes to treat a sacred promise with the easy elasticity of other Christians!
12
'Stay within when the darkness falls, for the night is bad. The evil one has his power.' – Cree proverb. The dogma is interesting, as to it the title 'Manitobah' (now Manitoba) owns derivation.
13
Spirits may only travel on the south wind.
14
Though it has frequently been denied, the Hudson's Bay Company are alone responsible for the extinction of the buffalo.
15
The shout of the human voice repels and scatters the auroral lights. Hence many Indian legends.
16
Qu'appelle. (Who calls?)
17
See prefatory note.
18
Geographically known as Selkirk Island, though wrongly placed on all maps.
19
The soldiers.
