Dear Tuma,
=C2=A0
With the greatest repect for what you do in=C2=A0instilling pride in the
native people and educating others. Everything should not be sugar
coated but the good and bad be told to truely have an honest education.
=C2=A0
The powersaw cuts were made to ease in=C2=A0the stripping of the bark,
which was also done to the trees. Go have a look the next time you are
there.
=C2=A0
Your statement that you do not worry if bark harvesting kills the
trees or not is more common than caring if=C2=A0they do,=C2=A0I'm sorry to =
say.
=C2=A0
Sincerely,
Darrell

I don't worry too much about birch bark harvesting and whether it can
kill the tree or not. =C2=A0The logging, electricity, construction, pulp &
paper industry are more efficient at killing trees. Now if you can
excuse me, I have to go check the local flyers if there are any sales
of 2X4's at the local lumber stores plus I need to pick up some Kleenex
tissues, paper towels and toilet paper for the house.
