Joe Bailey recalls an early Christmas at Pukatawagan

Joe Bailey born 1895 in Windsor Mills Quebec recalls a rugged early Christmas in Granville Lake outpost life. He traveled via sternwheeler and canoe to trade with Cree families and trap with Paul Bigitty, speaking Cree and sharing scarce goods. Christmas moved furs to Pukatawagan for winter supplies, Masses were the day’s highlight, and trappers drifted home after simple meals.

Christmas in Pukatawagan for Cree trappers

Joe recalls a stark Christmas in Pukatawagan where Cree trappers arrive with furs worth about 150 dollars, trade in the store, sleep on the trading post floor or with local families, share tea and homebrew, and talk little as they endure the bush journey. No gifts or tree decorations, and money is scarce in the bush during Christmas.
