Picnic Time
John Rombough
Surrounded by the grandfather rocks the mother of the family gives thanks, by offering some tobacco, to her Creator, and her Great Ancestors. A small bird, by the name of Whiskey jack takes in all that is happening. The family enjoys making fire & cooking wild meat & fish over the open fire. The great Ancestor watches over the land making sure everyone is safe out on the land.
- Thoughts on "Family" -
“We watch over one another, spending time together out on our Ancestors land. Family is time to hunt & fish and go camping out on the land. Family is being grateful for one another and loving each family member in a positive way, always.”
