The number of stories in the naked bush has risen to a billion. Almost all of them bad. We have here a few guaranteed not to depress.
George Jones is coming!!! Too bad George Jones doesn’t take whiskey with his cocaine any more. I would be the first in line to ...

Much has happened since we began our campaign. Unfortunately, very little of it in our quest for the prize.
Or so I thought when I wrote the above days ago. Since then the team has more than doubled to four. I now have an unstoppable campaign manager with years of ...

How goeth the campaign? you ask.
Damage control tells me I am the frontrunner. To save me some heartache, he did not mention it was purely by virtue of the fact that I am the only one who has so far announced his candidacy. I have also secured several votes. ...

Ladies, gentlemen and other readers of Rez Notes I humbly accept your nomination for Grand Chief. Thank you. If elected I pledge to change my title to a less loftier one such as Grand-But-Still-Modest-Chief. I also promise not to complain bitterly after signing agreements that the other party is not ...

Well, we are back after an all too brief respite. You may notice a slight shift in our overall attitude and general demeanor. A kinder, gentler Rez Notes if you will. By this I mean we will not kick when some unfortunate soul is down. Rather, we intend to pummel ...

Good, the doors are locked, the curtains drawn and the the ice has arrived from room service so the beverages will stay cold. We can begin. We are here at the cozy Capissisit Lodge in Ojay. I have to admit I was a tad nervous coming back after… what is ...

As we’ve all come to expect Rez Notes once again attempts to say as little as possible with the most number of words. We just might have succeeded this time.
We have not spotted any geese flying over here in Montreal yet oh, gentle hunters. But we’ve been informed that several ...

Friends, Creepersons, countrymen. Lend me your ears. Actually, in this case it would be your eyes and grey matter. We have traveled for miles through Eeyou Astchee these past few weeks and have seen, heard and learned much. As always, we had the good, the bad and, last but not ...

No, the photograph of yours truly in the last Rez Notes was not a reaction upon hearing I had to go back to Ojay. And no, I was not intoxicated. Nor was I stoned out of my skull. It’s just the way I always look before I start writing this ...

We haven’t much time, dear readers, and we’re not getting any younger so pay attention. A quiz will be administered in a future installment. We come to you for the first time from one of the Cree communities. It is on a “need to know” basis so I can only ...

There are a million stories in the naked bush and we have here for you a mere fraction of them. Yes, they cover a wide spectrum; from the ridiculous to the sublime. Ok, so they’re mostly ridiculous, but who cares, right? That’s why we have Rez Notes.
A spooky tale from ...

We are back and feeling much better about ourselves, thank you. We came very close to being inundated with submissions from people throughout Cree country. Thanks to all who took pity and came to the rescue. We will forever be grateful. But don’t stop there. Keep your eyes peeled and ...

Rez Notes is a failure. No fault, mind you, of the people who have taken the time to volunteer information good or bad, large or small and those who accepted those inopportune phone calls. We have not received many unsolicited pieces for this page and we are getting a tad ...

Rez Notes comes to you, in part, this time from the 18th floor of the Cree Lodging in Montreal. It’s best, I think, if I don’t reveal the room number. I’m surrounded by unwrapped gifts as I write this. There’s a giant unmarked box containing the latest in TV technology ...

Once again Rez Notes finds itself at a loss for words a scant few hours before another deadline. A desperate scramble in the form late phone calls, intense scans through the paper, vicious interrogations of Nation staff and just plain fiction dug up the following.
But is it good to the ...

I wanna wish… excuse me, force of habit… Wajyeh, or greetings for the Cree-challenged.
We have some good, bad and ugly news. Let’s start with the bad. Ernesto tells me The Red Hot Chili Peppers have postponed their Forum date due to their guitarist’s broken wrist. Good news from above. The ...
