Vollant is spending time with his family on the Maliotenam reserve, a community in Quebec about 800 kilometres north of Montreal. Right now McKenzie has the attitude of a modest man. It's been almost three years since he served three months in jail after a 1993 drinking and driving accident on the Maliotenam reserve. I write about what I know or about what I see. Despite his presence at this event, McKenzie says he doesn't care to set himself up as a native spokesman quite yet.
