about: Muskoka!
In a region shared by Native Peoples for 7,000 years, then exploited by settlers, and landowners for lumber, fish, farm land and recreational tourism dollars, it is important to study the history of a region (my blog posts). Muskoka is going to be featured by the OVHP.You can see, from my photo of Port Carling, what developers are doing to the land and the shield.
What is great fun, is seeing people you actually know in such a video. And people whose families played a part in the beautiful territory.
