[...] The text, the quotes from his writings, and the photos bring alive the story, and the message, of one of Canada's earliest champions of conservation. [...] His father, he decided, disgusted with the wars against the Indians, had joined the show and The Lure of the Wild 9 | ^ E G A N I K A B O Archie learned much of the ways of the wilder ness from the Bear Island Ojibway in northern Ontario. [...] Archie imagines, that Neganikabo summons him to lay the old man to rest at the end of his life: I buried him the next day in his old canoe, with his muzzle-loading gun, his old-fashioned axe, and his beaded pouch of relics by his side, in the smooth ground beneath the birches near the lake-shore. [...] He wrote that he acted as the interpreter for the group because he could "murder the beautiful flowing gut- turals and meat-axe noises made by the red brother." Despite the warm welcome extended to him by Angele and her band, Archie was slipping into the role of the superior white man.
