Each person here has their own special story. There was a moritorium on fishing for the past five years, and the men have just been able to fish again the past two seasons. They are not having much luck with the fish, but continue to be optimistic. It is fascinating to see how the community sticks together through thick and thin. One of the unique things we enjoy about Francois is that since there are no roads there are no cars.
People are very isolated, yet seem to be quite satisfied with their lives.
Even the kids show no desire to get away as soon as possible. When something happens, everyone is invited. It was a one man band, but the community center shook with all the foot stomping. Sunday was a Christening. Yesterday was a baby shower.
