‘I just stopped and I blurted out ‘Hey, that’s my dad,’ says Caroline Poorman
When Caroline Poorman, 77, listens to recordings her father made of oral stories in the Plains Cree language, memories flood back to her.
Poorman can hear the crackling of the woodstove, smell tea and cigarettes. She and her siblings are told to hush while her dad works a reel-to-reel tape machine.
Over 50 years later, she sits in the Touchwood Agency Tribal Council buildings near Punnichy, Sask., about 100 kilometres north of Regina, with five elders working to translate and transcribe those recordings into English.
