The nativity scene was designed and constructed by Marge Brunelle, Anne McCue and Gary Monague, who are all native staff at Ste. Marie- among-the-Hurons. The idea for the scene came from the carol written by Father Brebeuf, one of the original Jesuit martyrs. He wrote the carol for the Indians to make the Christmas story easier for them to understand. The basic premise of the song is this: "The baby Jesus was born in a bark lodge and wrapped in fur. The great chiefs, warriors an from afar to honour Jesus with gifts of corn, fur, and tobacco." The figures are all done in corn husk dolls, a traditional Indian form. There are no features on the faces of the dolls because the Indians believed that giving a doll a face would also give it a soul. Also the dolls could not have the features of a_ recently deceased family member, or one who was absent from the tribe. The nativity scene is beautifully laid out on a wooden base in the front window of the Council office at 278 King St. Take a look next time y ou are passing, or go in and ask Chief Roger Jackson about the scene.
