Thanks Wayne. I didn't put it on Facebook because I didn't have a photo to
go with the story.

Amen to that wish.
Thanks for posting this great story, John. I do not recall hearing it
before. If I knew how, I would share it on Facebook, etc.; I hope that
others will do so. The other trappers' name of "whisky John", given by
McAtee and other older books likely comes from this Innu name.
Cheers,
Wayne Neily

Subject: [NatureNS] Why the Gray Jay Comes to You for Food
At the time when the people first came upon "our land", the animals and the
people spoke the same language. The people needed guidance from the Creator
about how to survive on the land. The bird, uishkatshan, offered to fly up
to the Creator to seek advice on their behalf. Each morning uishkatshan flew
to the Creator and came back with guidance about how to hunt the moose, trap
the beaver, make clothing, build shelter, and prepare foods.
When the people had all the wisdom they needed to live in a right and
harmonious relationship with the land, they wished to give a gift to
uishkatshan for acting as messenger from the Creator. The bird, uishkatshan,
said that a gift was not needed but the people insisted. So uishkatshan
proposed that each time they hunt in the forest, they can leave a portion of
what they have hunted or gathered for uishkatshan.
Thus, the people adopted this custom, and each time uishkatshan came for
food at their camps, it reminded the people of their sacred relationship
with the Creator and the land that supported them.
Based on an Innu creation story that I heard many years ago. Go here
<http://www.nametauinnu.ca/en/glossary/uishkatshan> to see uishkatshan.
May we also learn from uishkatshan how to live in a right relationship with
our land.
John
