The Northwest Territories has lots of ravens. I don’t really know how they survive the winters, but they do.
Very intelligent and canny and with a wide vocal range, I have seen them plan, act in concert, and then share the proceeds of their cooperation. And I swear that they have a sort of language.
The Dene believe that they are good luck, unless they are calling out to each other at night. That is then a sign that you should hunker down in your house.
Happy Monday; happy week. 🙂
Happy Friday, happy weekend. 🙂
To a Canadian, 
you need to be north of 60° N latitude to be “in the north.” Canadians understand when you say, “I’m going north of 60.”
To a far north northerner, though, that’s south. You can wear shorts until it’s -20. Not an exaggeration. I’ve actually seen this.
But, to anyone in the southern US, for instance, that’s where Pere Noel lives. Going outside is for polar bears and reindeer.
I am “north of 60,” but I’m too far south for polar bears and reindeer. They aren’t a part of my landscape. And to a far north northerner, I’m a weak little southerner.
It’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it?
