Moosonee Photos: Moose Factory and Moose River Too!
Moosonee photos is a page dedicated to images of the area around the two small northern towns of Moosonee and Moose Factory. The Moose River dominates the landscape and the lives of the people. It's the reason the towns are there, a window on the wider world.
To get about in the north, you need a boat. The native peoples perfected the canoe -- one of their many gifts to modern North America and the world.This canoe is traveling the easy way, by flatbed.
Bannocks are the scone or bread of this northern area, brought, no doubt, by the Scottish Hudson Bay traders centuries ago. Our guide prepared them while we hunted for fossils on Fossil Island.
I mentioned there are bears in the forest all around the Moosonee area and here's as close as we got to one. Unfortunately, people everywhere are not tidy enough with their garbage and that brings the bears into town, which is true even in our more urban settings too.

These sealions warily watched us go by in our canoe. They had no need to be concerned, they're huge and we tourists were more interested in 'bannocks' than blubber.
