Dialogue

BBC presenter: Hello, Grey Owl. Can I ask you some questions?

Grey Owl: Yes, you can.

BBC presenter: How old were you when you decided to move to Canada?

Grey Owl: When I decided it I was 18 years old.

BBC presenter: Why did you decide it?

Grey Owl: I decided it because my favourite stories were about Canada and Native Americans. I wanted to learn about Native Americans life.

BBC presenter: What did you do when you arrived in Canada?

Grey Owl: First I met Bill Guppy and his brothers. They taught me how to paddle a canoe, and different kinds of axes and traps.

BBC presenter: What did you do during the following years?

Grey Owl: I learnt to hunt many animals with many traps. I learnt too that I mustn’t use explosives to hunt, because I destroy their lodge and I kill many animals. I also began to dye my hair black and use henna to dye my skin brown. I felt like an Indian.

BBC presenter: Why did you decide to establish a beaver colony?

Grey Owl: Because I adopted two beaver kits, because they were orphans. They grew with me and I wanted to protected them. I thought: “If I establish a beaver colony, the beavers can live without trappers and peacefully”. Then, I started with the conferences, films, books… I always did it with Anahareo, my friend.

BBC presenter: How did you feel when you explained to the people about the life in nature?

Grey Owl: I felt that they were learning about the nature, how to protect it and how to care about it.

BBC presenter: And when you went to England?

Grey Owl: I felt that I was important at that moment, because everybody knew me, and maybe later they would learn how to care about the nature.

BBC presenter: Ok, thanks for you answers. Good bye!
