Hi, I’m Andy Fyon from Rambles with Robin and Ruby. Join me in this video as I share what I see while walking over the rocky shore at the Schreiber beach, on the north shore of Lake Superior, Ontario, Canada. The Schreiber beach is part of the longer and more challenging Casque Iles trail system, which runs for 53 km or 33 miles from Rossport on the west to Terrace Bay on the east. Recall, my focus in summer 2025 were disjunct Arctic – alpine plants located along the north shore of Lake Superior. In this video I share what geological features I see along the rocky shore and some of the plants, including disjunct Arctic – alpine plant species, I recognized growing on that rocky shore.

Land Acknowledgment:
I acknowledge that much of the video was composed as I walked through and on the homeland of the The Pays Plat First Nation (Ojibway of North Shore Lake Superior), within the 1850 Robertson Superior Treaty and the Metis people. I recognize and thank them as stewards of this land for thousands of years. By acknowledging these peoples and their stewardship of the land reminds us all to reflect on and respect their unique relationship to this land. My acknowledgment is also an invitation for all of us to identify and engage in actions that respect and reinforce our commitments to made in the Treaty, Truth and Reconciliation, and Indigenous Rights. Miigwetch/thank you.
