Joan Finnigan (Interviewer)

Interview of Madeleine Thériault of North Bay, Ontario. Thériault, an Ojibway native born on Bear Island, talks about her memories of Grey Owl, who lived with her former husband's uncle, John [Abernath]. Stating that the native people knew he was a "white man", they nevertheless accepted him and taught him the Ojibway language and hunting and trapping skills. Thériault continues with Grey Owl's marriage to Angele [Abernath], the birth of their daughter Agnes and Grey Owl's seven-year disappearance. His eventual return and some later events in Grey Owl's life conclude the interview.
