Through our travels and expeditions, we are more than ever convinced that nature is a perfect teacher. When travelling through pristine wilderness, over high mountains or on rough seas, you immediately feel humble, a state of mind we tend to loose in this 21first high-tech century where we think we can conquer anything !

Being outdoors, you appreciate your shelter, food and water, and you appreciate more than ever true friendship. One learns when to travel and when to stay put and listen to the teachings of the weather elements. One doesn't ‘conquer’ a mountain; the mountain lets one walk on it.

Through our INUKSUK website we want to share with you our adventures and respect for mother Earth. We invite you to use your 5 senses and start to witness what nature can provide you: a never ending teaching book. Happy trails, Bert & Kiki

“Living with the Anishnabe of Kokomville” – Québec August 2007 Print E-mail

KokomvilleIn August 2007 we spent a month with the Wawatie family of Kokomville.


Jacob and Louise Wawatie, well respected elders and teachers within the Anishnabe Nation teached me, as if I were their Little Brother, how to live in the bush.

I was pushed by them to awaken my 5 senses and learn to read the book of nature.

I have still a very long way to go, it's a book impossible to finnish, but once you start "reading it" you can never stop.


During that month we also learned about the hardships the Anishnabe went through, but even more about their desire and willpower to preserve their ancient old ways of life.

Video-journalist Steven Dijlst went with us to film this life changing experience: The result of this was the documentary “Little Brother”.
