Dialogue
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!
