Remember This reminds us of a time when people facing hardship shared with and cared for their neighbours
Do you remember a time when acts of kindness were enough? When time and effort was appreciated? In her book, Tales of Nokomis, Patronella Johnston, described such a scenario in which a meaningful relationship was made with an Indigenous elder through acts of kindness.
As an acknowledgment of their efforts, their adoptive Nokomis or grandmother shared Indigenous folklore by the hearth. These stories clearly made an impact on Johnston’s life, as she chose to share them with her foster children, before she transcribed them, for as she states “they would have been gone forever” . The children in Johnston’s preface to Tales of Nokomis realized the elder was unable to tend to these chores and put in effort and time to lend a hand.
It is not difficult to imagine the desire for tasty food prepared at home during an extended stay at the hospital. So, when “ninety jars of jam, preserves and canned vegetables, and pickles were given...” , hospital staff and patients were appreciative of these tastes of home. The majority of the donations being jams, preserves, canned vegetables, and pickles makes a lot of sense. In the Sault Star on August 9, 1980, Ann Borella when talking about the benefits of canning and preserving, states “you can save money…particularly if you grow your own food and happen to have the supplies of jars on hand” .
