Good story.
Wonderful. Wish I could have met him.
Thanks for posting this story.

You almost need a program to determine what countries use what terms for which classes of identified populations. Reading the headline made me think that this might have been a story from Australia which uses the ‘Aboriginal’ term exclusively for its natives. Then I saw the comment about caribou and realized that there are no caribou in Australia.
Canada, on the other hand, uses several terms like “First Peoples” or “Native Peoples” for certain populations. Down here in the USofA, we are still confused and getting further so with the PC Speech Police at our heels. “American Indian” used to be OK but now some prefer “American Aborigine” while others despise that term. Some use “Native American” but it is a moving goal post that WE, aka ‘Oppressors’, are never supposed to know so that we will always be wrong!
Anyway, glad to see the honor being paid to an obviously brave man in Canada!
***a Ross rifle slung over his shoulder***
A super accurate straight pull rifle which often killed the shooter as well as the target. Worked great on a clean shooting range, clogged with European mud, not so well.
Disassemble, clean, reassemble. Fire! the bolt blows back and kills the rifleman.
