Gookums

Did I already tell you that the Cree word for grandmother is "Gookum"? Well, my story about gookums in Wemindji is in today's Gazette -- with Monique Dykstra's photos. We made page one! Here's the link, in case you want to check it out: http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=b48ab6ca-f6d1-4bb3-97eb-543172be114a

Also, in case you're wondering-- the Cree word for grandfather is "Joomshom."  Enjoy the rest of the weekend! If you're lucky enough to have a gookum and joomshom -- call them up and tell them you love them. Better yet, ask them to tell you THEIR stories!
