Joliette is a small city 45 mins north-east of Montreal. It is a commercial and industrial place (there's a Bridgestone plant) surrounded with agricultural area.
Joliette people are mostly locals, working in the surroundings. The first days of every months are opulent ones, since the wealthcare checks bring money to the very visible unemployeds. Among these, a lot of Native from the Reserve of Manawan who now decided to live in « the big city ». An interesting sight is at the Wal Mart wich is sometimes filled with those Natives who seem to love to shop there and eat a nice meal at the McDonald. You can't miss them with their pick up trucks.

When I want to reconnect with my Native origins, I like to take a walk through the Joliette Wal Mart and see my ancestors there
