MY WILD WHACKY WEB PAGE
"We did not have many store-bought things when I was growing up. Most of the food came from
the wild. Every fall, my father was given some money to buy me
clothing. All our clothes had to last a year. We always used to eat wild food. My father
hunted moose and beaver, and he brought in fish, rabbits and ducks.
That’s how he provided for us. We never went hungry. My father was a
good hunter. I learned from him. We had no store-bought diapers in
those days. We just dug up moss and used it as diaper lining. Whenever
we ran out, we just went out and dug up more moss from under the snow.
We cut out strips of this diaper moss and dried them. That’s how we
changed diapers. Never did we use Pampers. Once a year we took ten feet
of diaper moss, used it with diaper cloth, and it lasted us a year. We
laundered it and kept using the moss. When we ran out of moss, we just
dug up some more. And birch bark was used, too. There was also a
special snow shovel, used for the digging. This is how we looked after
our children, and we just fed them food from the wild.
All the women breast-fed. There was no store-bought milk. Maybe
this was a divine gift, and all the women were so blessed. There was no
substitute for real mother’s milk. Every woman breast-fed her child for
a year, and then he took solid food. All women had the gift, and none
used store-bought milk. There wasn’t any, and we knew how to care for
our children. We were blessed with the wisdom to look after ourchildren properly. That’s my story, the one I wanted to tell. Open Netscape
