CHUCK'S JOURNEY

Chisasibi

Watch on Lumi

Chuck joins Ernest Webb for some wild goose hunting in Chisasibi—the last village accessible by road in the Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region.

But today, it’s too windy and the water is too rough for the hunters to get close to their prey. Ernie decides to take Chuck on a tour of where he grew up, the community’s former village of Fort George Island. Ernest shares a few memories with Chuck over an eider duck egg and fried baloney sandwich.

Chuck pays a visit to Simon Quachegan, who makes goose sculptures out of tamarack wood.

Back at Ernie’s, the men prepare a goose and dumpling stew, a Chisasibi specialty.
