ST. THERESA POINT


 One of my very favourite BUNTEP classes at St. Theresa Point.
I was the coodinator from 1991 to 1994 and taught some courses there.
I also supervised the students'  field experience (student teaching practice)
in the three Island Lake communities.



 This is one of me waiting for my boat taxi ride to Wasagamack,
one of the places served by the BUNTEP centre at St. Theresa Point in the early 1990s.


Bertha Flett Shared the Taxi

STP Spring Breakup Ride
In the early 1990s, we had to take a boat taxi pulled by a snowmobile to get to the post office in the Bay
(Hudson’s Bay Company store) on St. Mary Island at St. Theresa Point.
One of our students, Bertha Flett, shared this trip during spring break up.
A minute later the Skidoo broke through the ice, the driver hopped off and retrieved the machine.
We resumed the ride, flying over cracks in the ice, and bouncing from floe to floe
until we reached the ten-foot plank that we had to walk to get to the shoreline.

Our float plane had a leak in a pontoon at Pukatawagan but it was soon repaired.


The Churchill River is punctuated at intervals by some creative lichen scraping.
This example is downriver from Pukatawagan.
