Sioux Lookout, Ontario 1979

Small town Sioux
the entire world
to my eyes
5 years old
1979
where everything
was one big wow

Walking down
Front Street
the looooongest one block
in the world
huffing
puffing
to get to
the Whistle Stop
in the Sioux Hotel

I would eat
the house special
chicken in a basket
a gold mine of flavour
campared to fried Klik
on the rez

Sioux Lookout, Ontario
to a 5 year old
from Lac Seul First Nation
was an adventure
