Let's discover the cree community of Waskaganish, its residents, its memorable buildings and its cultural sites. That's what our adventurers did with their new friend Tim Whiskeychan, the tourism officer of the community. They also got the chance to face the incontested strength of the Rupert River by visiting the cultural site of Smokey Hill where they lived a momerable moment!
The communal kitchen I think it was the biggest demonstration of community that I experienced in this trip.
