Buckley Petawabano, born in 1950, made a memorable entrance into their office one day. Hailing from the Cree community of Lac St. John in Quebec, Buckley's warm personality and infectious smile overshadowed any speech awkwardness. At around 20 years old, he became a respected figure on and off-screen, particularly serving as a role model for younger indigenous boys in the Manitoulin area. He was cherished and highly regarded by both the cast and crew of the series.
