Do you know there is a website/forum called “Trap Lines North” (https://traplinesnorth.proboards.com/)
Although it doesn’t get much activity these days, it’s got a lot of great information and pictures about the book and familys.
I help moderate it, keep out those pesky Middle East trappers selling timeshares.
I have been to Nakina a few times, always looking for things from the book.
"Paid to live in the woods."
I went to forestry school at the U of Washington in the early 70s. It was the best school of its kind in the world then. We were required to spend a quarter in the woods We played horse shoes at night with the best professors around. We had our own College of Forest Resources.
The most gun ho forester I ever met lived in a hooch with me and 2 other guys. Dave was an ex Marine from Castle Rock, WA. He went to work with a timber company out on the Olympic Peninsula near Forks, WA which gets 100 inches of rain and grows some huge forests. He told the story at our 48 year reunion at Pack Forest near Mt Rainier in 2022. "One day after 3 years of working in the field, the rain was going down the back of my neck. I looked out at the Olympic Range in the fog and decided to do something else." He got an MBA and built a very successful real estate development company.
Now the University has a Dept of Environmental Sciences and Forest Management. They now longer have an undergrad degree in forestry. I grew up at the right time. born in 1950.

Re-reading a short story collection titled Garden In The Wind by Gabrielle Roy. English translation by Allan Brown.
The first story is A Tramp At The Door. There's an excellent short movie version if you can find it.
