This week, Kate talks about Haliburton village's annual tradition of guessing what day winter's ice would finally disappear from Head Lake. But when did the tradition start? Plus, Paul talks about Newfoundland's Indigenous people - the Beothuk - and the sad disappearance of the Beothuks starting with the arrival of Europeans in the late 1400's. And the story of Shawnadithit who's been called the last Beothuk.
