Equinox 2022: Unlocking hidden treasures

I’m happy to share a new project!

“In Montreal the Frenchmen say that the they own Labrador
Including Indian Harbor where my father fished before

Now that the oil on our shore we better take the time
To develope it more carefully or else you’re going to find
What could have been the answer to our poor economy
Has changed our way of living and destroyed our fishery” The Islander, The Navigators
