“Where did you come from?” is the first question 73-year-old Oscar Kistabish learned to ask when first meeting someone.
“In my head, we imagine where you are from, it’s very important so that’s the first thing we ask,” Kistabish said during a Zoom interview. “I heard that from my parents asking about the people, ‘where are you from? ”
Kistabish is from Anishnaabe Aki, the indigenous Anishnaabe lands in the western province of Québec, Canada where he lives in a rural family camp about 30 miles south of Matagami. His camp is one of many passed down retreats within the perimeters of what is called a trapline, a family territory passed down throughout generations for hunting and trapping.
