Prince Albert: The Home of Grey Owl

Prince Albert National Park is famed for more than its wilderness; it was the home of Archibald Belaney, better known as Grey Owl (played by Pierce Brosnan in the movie Grey Owl). Living in a cabin on Ajawaan Lake from 1931-1938, his writings shaped early conservation movements in Canada & abroad. The cabin, 'Beaver Lodge,' remains a popular historic site. #Canada #PrinceAlbert #GreyOwl #History 🇨🇦

Un parfum littéraire Mar 5, 2025

Un #texte poétique à la fois simple, apaisant, dénonciateur. Je n'ai pas envie de vous parler ici des problématiques d'appropriations culturelles qui entourent Grey Owl, un trappeur et écrivain anglais s'étant présenté comme "Indien" pendant la grande majorité de sa vie.
Non, je veux simplement vous partager cet écrit, qui est une ode à la #nature : il retrace la vie d'un grand pin, de sa naissance à son abattage. Témoin de siècles passés, dressé jusqu'à l'arrivée de l'homme blanc, l'arbre nous offre une leçon d'humilité et une réflexion sur notre monde et la destruction de ce dernier, bien avant la prise de conscience écologique de ces dernières années. Très court, c'est un joli #conte à la porté des grands comme des petits.

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Jun 8, 2023

What should we do about "Pretendians" - academics, politicians, authors, film-makers, etc., who claim Indigenous heritage, on false or willfully deluded, grounds? The Senate is debating this complicated issue, and I spoke to the issue this week, starting with the intriguing complexities of Alberta senator James Gladstone, the first "Status Indian" to serve in the Senate of Canada. https://youtu.be/qmnwBOWk-fM #SenateofCanada #abpoli #FNMI #Pretendians #SenCa #indigenous #ableg #GreyOwl
