Today's postcard is not used, but it is fitting to the season. It says on the back, "Huronia Museum, Midland, Ont., The Huron Christmas Story." "This diorama, donated by the National Museum, shows how the Jesuits adapted the story of Christ's birth to the understanding of the Huron Indians. Three Great Chiefs (The Three Wise Men) are presenting gifts of fur to the Holy Child born in a lodge of broken bark. Wandering hunters (The Shepherds) are coming to the longhouse to see the son of Gitchie-Manitou, the Great Spirit." Midland is the place of the Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons - a restored historical site on the shores of Georgian Bay in Ontario. This cool place holds good memories for me - as a grade school kid we made a field trip to learn more about our history. As an adult, it was the first "field trip" my husband and our friends took on a May 24 long-weekend. While in college, I worked at another historic site - Doon Pioneer Village in Kitchen
