TABOR HILL

SITE OF AN ANCIENT INDIAN OSSUARY

IROQUOIS PRAYER

O GREAT SPIRIT, WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WINDS
AND WHOSE BREATH GIVES LIFE TO ALL THE WORLD,
HEAR ME,
I AM A MAN BEFORE YOU ONE OF YOUR MANY CHILDREN,
I AM SMALL AND WEAK, I NEED YOUR STREGTH AND
WISDOM, LET ME WALK IN BEAUTY AND MAKE MY EYES
EVER BEHOLD THE RED AND PURPLE SUNSETS.
MAKE MY HANDS RESPECT THE THINGS YOU HAVE MADE,
MY EARS SHARP TO HEAR YOUR VOICE,
MAKE ME WISE SO THAT I MAY KNOW THE THINGS YOU
HAVE TAUGHT MY PEOPLE, THE LESSONS YOU HAVE
HIDDEN IN EVERY LEAF AND ROCK, I SEEK STRENGTH
O CREATOR, NOT TO BE SUPERIOR TO MY BROTHERS,
BUT TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT MY GREATEST ENEMY, MYSELF.
MAKE ME EVER READY TO COME TO YOU WITH CLEAN
HANDS AND STRAIGHT EYE SO THAT WHEN LIFE
FADES AS THE SETTING SUNSET, MY SPIRIT
MAY COME TO YOU WITHOUT SHAME.

Tabor Hill Park is in Scarborough. When clearing some farm land to build a subdivision, they came across a native burial ground. They reinterned the remains in an ossuary and build a mound over it.

It is sacred ground, in the middle of Scarborough.


My grandfather worked the job site where it happened.

I want to say, Halifax Harbour.

Bossnass 03-08-2006 08:21 AM

I want to say yes, but I would be incorrect to do so.

Leto 03-08-2006 10:13 AM

Will you say no to Mahone Bay, NS?

More east than halifax.

Hint: That isn't salt water.
Hint: That isn't really fresh water either.

P.E.I. would be my guess!

Pt. Louise in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario.

Bossnass 03-08-2006 03:18 PM

I was going to post this picture:

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...oneresized.jpg

But I thought that it was too easy and since it was raining, the picture was too dismal.
Although, I would have been able to say yes to mahone bay.

I was also going to post this picture

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...oreresized.jpg

But I thought that the reddish sand was too obvious and that the digital camera didn't do very well on the default setting. And if I had, then PEI would have been the guess I was looking for.

To clarify previous hints: the water is closer to salt water than fresh water, but is still somewhere in between.

Edit - I don't have a pic of Sault Ste Marie, but I think I mentioned it was east of Halifax.

that pic is beautiful. a great shot of a beautiful location... dismal is good atmosphere.

i found mine from June/2000 but it was an slr camera, and had to be scanned. definitely not as nice as yours:

Thanks. That was the least dismal picture of that day (which included Peggy's Cove and our first day in Lunenburg). I was pretty dissaponted when the first dozen or so photos were so... grey. Took me most of the trip to figure out how to use the new digital camera properly.

And your Crabby's picture is way clearer, brighter, no fence, and actually has someone in it, which is a better picture and memory.

Yes, it falls within the boundries of Nova Scotia.

Sorry it has to be an orbital shot, but as it's about 70 km across, at ground level it doesn't look like anything. But the object itself is in Canada.

That's the Manicouagan Crater in Quebec.

Charlatan 03-09-2006 07:20 PM

OK. I am looking for the location and the name of the Tower.

Leto 03-12-2006 04:32 AM

hint?...is this in mississauga?

Charlatan 03-12-2006 05:11 AM

This is not in Mississauga but it is in Ontario. That's water just beyond the cyclist. It isn't a river or a lake.

Dunton Tower along the Rideau Canal at Carleton?

That is exactly right! Game on, Cellophanedeity!

Yay! I finally got one! My powers of deduction mixed with google image search are amazing! (Thought Process = Not a lake or river? Canal? Rideau Canal? Carleton! Charlatan went to Carleton!)

Here's mine!

Howdja guess? ;)

fresnelly 03-15-2006 06:12 AM

Divine Inspiration, I guess. I was staring at it and zoning out, thinking: "That doesn't look like anywhere in Toronto that I know.", when it hit me. Cello's from Brampton! A quick google image search showed me the way. :D


I made a small detour this morning, and took this on the way to work:

That's Hans Island up in the Arctic, though I suppose whether it's actually in Canada, and not Denmark, is up for debate. :b
