| Abstract |
This audio recording recalls why the caribou no longer coming to the area of Southend. This audio recording is in Cree and the English translation is below.
"There are not many [caribou]. Maybe there are becoming extinct. They have nothing to eat. There are so many forest fires. All their food is burnt. That is why the caribou no longer come to this area. They eat the reindeer moss that is white in color. This moss is burnt. Even the trees are burnt. They have nothing to eat." |

| Note |
"Reindeer moss, (Cladonia rangiferina), a fruticose (bushy, branched) lichen found in great abundance in Arctic lands. It is an erect, many-branched plant that grows up to 8 cm high, covers immense areas, and serves as pasture for reindeer, moose, caribou, and musk oxen. In Scandinavia it has been used in the manufacture of alcohol, but difficulties in obtaining reindeer moss arise because of its slow growth rate (3 to 5 mm per year). Its periods of most rapid growth are spring and fall when high humidity and cool temperatures prevail."
