She wanted just the right spot to leave the body. She found it among blueberry and juniper bushes, and gently placed the female snake's body in the fragrant brush. Respectfully, she covered it with moss and leaves. On this cloudless July day, the dark waters of Georgian Bay sparkled in the distance. Standing with Park Warden Scott Sutton, the two funeral attendees faced west, the doorway to the Ojibway spirit world. Sprinkling an offering of sacred tobacco on the burial site, she recited a final prayer of thanks and farewell in Ojibway.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travel.sympatico.msn.ca/Encounters+in+the+Wild+Spirit+Rattler/parks_canada/encounters_in_the_wild_spirit_rattler.htm?isfa=1">It all began the previous summer, when a visitor to Georgian Bay Islands National Park deliberately killed a Massasauga rattler.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travel.sympatico.msn.ca/Encounters+in+the+Wild+Spirit+Rattler/parks_canada/encounters_in_the_wild_spirit_rattler.htm?isfa=1">“When you're out picking blueberries and you hear that rattle, it's a signal for you to stop </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travel.sympatico.msn.ca/Encounters+in+the+Wild+Spirit+Rattler/parks_canada/encounters_in_the_wild_spirit_rattler.htm?isfa=1"><STRONG>Snakes of the North</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travel.sympatico.msn.ca/Encounters+in+the+Wild+Spirit+Rattler/parks_canada/encounters_in_the_wild_spirit_rattler.htm?isfa=1"><P><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><A target="_blank" href="http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng//nature/rn-ew/partarger-share.aspx">Share Your Encounters in the Wild!</A><BR /></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://travel.sympatico.msn.ca/Encounters+in+the+Wild+Spirit+Rattler/parks_canada/encounters_in_the_wild_spirit_rattler.htm?isfa=1"> <A target="_blank" href="http://www.pc.gc.ca/">national parks</A></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3C1EC797-5764-4F0F-A474-B3C54E6764CD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
