Chapter 37 - Celebrations
So far: Miners try to take the reserve as their own, and a small war
erupts as the First Nations decide that they will no longer let the
white men take what it theirs. The river keeps the war bloodless, in a
way, and eventually it is resolved.
------- ------ ------
The town and reserve were abuzz for several weeks after the miners' war
ended. It was nearly the end of November when River realized that her
birthday, or Ricky's birthday, as odd as that now felt to her, was
nearing. On November 24 she would turn 15. She was reminded of the fact
by her sessions in the river, which was continually announcing that it
had a 'present' for her.
Fall had turned to winter, and there was snow on the ground. The first
few inches came days after the war, and it was a threat of a blizzard
that got the last reporters to flee the area. The blizzard didn't come
until mid-month, but then it dumped eight inches of snow on the
reserve, and the locals warned that that snow would still be there, at
the bottom of a much bigger pile, at the end of March.
That was new for River. In Toronto there were usually only two or three
significant snowfalls a winter, messing up traffic for a day, and then
taking another two or three days for the works crews to clean up the
streets. Then there would be a warm spell, and the snow would
disappear. Dale said that in his youth there had been snow on the
ground all winter, but River didn't remember it. Global warming,
probably.
But north of Lake Superior, snows came and snows stayed. In St. Mary's
there were works crews that tried to keep the streets clear, but in the
reserve there were only a couple of men with snow-blowers who cleared
paths through the reserve, mainly to allow the students to get to the
bus stops. Another path was made down to the meeting place near the
river, although after each Sunday the hundreds who came to River's
services widened the path.
The river was still open. It told River that it would remain so until
after her birthday, and then would freeze up. The water was so cold
that it could freeze several inches thick overnight. The river told
River she should still perform the services after it froze, but could
stand on the ice instead of in the water. Sure enough, no matter how
much snow fell during a week, before services the wind would blow the
ice clear, as well as a space for the people to stand. It got to the
point where there was a series of hockey games along the river on
Sunday afternoons, with boys (and girls) of various ages playing in
pickup games with their peers.
The service before River's birthday would be the last one where she
stood in open water. Her birthday was on Wednesday that week, and the
river promised that she would be able to visit it that morning. It also
let her know that she could continue to visit each morning, even after
there was ice on top. She would still be fed sustenance and information
by the river, although it was not as efficient as through the water.
That Wednesday she felt trepidation as she entered the water for the
last time of the year. The river was still warm around her, in spite of
the snowy surroundings.
