SORRY FOR THE DERAIL NOG
i have just spent most of the afternoon reading up on the icelanders in north central canada (gimli manitoba area)...for something so critical to life (fishing in winter) there is few mentions of it... it is possible he was reteaching them lost knowledge based on claims ive read suggesting natives and icelanders traded fishing techniques but it was the natives who taught the icelanders to use nets under the ice...funny how oral history (what Helgi told me) can differ from written history...very interesting how the area given to the iclanders was called the icelandic reserve.
in my reading i was appalled by the number of inacuracies...one link claimed northern ojibwa didnt grow veggies when i just read an account of them doing just that.....another fact sheet doesnt even get the species of fish a guy in a picture is holding right...
i did find this short book an interesting read also a blurb on fishing below
