Brother Broken
Welcome back again.
It's the weekend and I hope you have great plans to enjoy it.
At
any given time, the population of our village never exceeded one hundred. It
occupies a very small piece of ground in north western Saskatchewan. The
community sits on the edge of northern boreal forest. Farming is the area's
main industry. Our village borrows its name from the Cree language. The word is
Makwa which translates as loon.
Most would agree that the name Makwa holds a nicer flavour than its English
counterpart, especially since the word loon holds two meanings.
One signifies an aquatic bird that frequents the nearby lakes. The other alludes
to a not-so-flattering term describing a state of mind. Strange things can
happen in Makwa, so in either sense the name fits the village. For what it's
worth, Makwa exists on the
opposite side of bush-line from normal. Being normal is boring and Makwa was anything but boring.
