Subject: RE: Northwest Passage
Really? Has the Albion Band finally learned that being a Blackfoot and drunk is not necessarily synonymous and as plains Indians, they used the tipi rather than the wigwam of their eastern counterparts, they ate dried, not salt meat and that no matter how hard you try, "wigwam" does not rhyme with with "rattle in hand" on this continent. Makes me wonder too. LOL

I sure hope they also pronounce Fraser (fray-zer) correctly in their rendition of this song. There'd be some in Canada that would wonder what the hell they were talking about if they called it the Frai si er River. Of course, I guess one could always use poetic license and dip an oar in the Sha-nee-on or go off to Dub-lee-in. *BG*

Odd, I do like the Albion Band, when they don't go out of their depth.
