oxford25 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Article about Leo's visit ( along with Darren A ) to Fort Chip today Leonardo DiCaprio and Darren Aronofsky receive gift of moccasins in remote Fort Chip The superstar is in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, in the oil sands region of northern Alberta Leonardo Di Caprio's car drove into town and the megastar jumped out and walked straight to the banks of the Athabasca Lake. He got out of the vehicle and took in the beauty. A small group consisting of chiefs and councillors stood nearby. "He was in such awe of the environment. He stood at the edge of the lake. He stood there for a good half hour, talking to people there," Simpson said. For most of the time, Cookie Simpson remained in silence. Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio went to have lunch with some 30 members of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, in Alberta, and while he spoke with the Elders, Simpson just ate and listened According to Simpson, DiCaprio was there together with acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky, (Noah, Black Swan, The Wrestler) in a mission to gather information for an upcoming environmental documentary. “[He wanted] just to see the destruction that’s around our area. I feel we have another advocate on our side. It’s so nice because the government will always say there’s nothing wrong with Fort Chipewyan but their monitoring sucks,” Simpson told the Vancouver Observer. Simpson has seen her share of Hollywood celebrities from the unlikely location of Fort Chipewyan, population 847. She remembers Avatar’s director James Cameron coming to the area with environmental concerns. Yet, she says, he never came back, nor did he follow through on offering help. Most celebrities visit the oil sands area once and then forget about it, she said. She has a different feeling about DiCaprio, she said. "I could tell he cares" The highlight came when Simpson got to present DeCaprio and Aronofsky with a gift of the moccasins she makes from bear hide. "After I presented him with the moccasins, I told them what they were made of. Then I said I need a hug. He just grabbed me and he hugged me. Now, I'm walking on air. I'm not going to wash my shirt. I wish I was young again," she added with a girlish laugh. Aronofsky told the 64-year-old mother of 2, grandmother of 3 and greatgrandmother of 4, that the moccasins were perfect fit. When the star and the director arrived, Simpson says they met with the chief and council of the Mikisew Cree First Nations and then with the leadership of the Athabasca First Nations." Following that, they ate a lunch prepared by a local First Nations leader and that was when the moccasins were presented. "Now, he’s gone on a boat ride with one of the regular people from Ft. Chip," she said. Simpson said DiCaprio inspired confidence and hope. “Cameron came here and we never heard nothing back from him. He said he would help us out and we never heard anything.But Leonardo is here now and he seems much more caring, so much more interested. He’s doing his documentary anyways on the environment. I’m sure when his movie comes out, I’m sure he’s going to be on our side,” Simpson said, after noting that the Titanic actor seemed upset by the destruction by the tar sands on the local environment. http://www.vancouverobserver.com/news/leonardo-dicaprio-and-darren-aronofsky-receive-gift-moccasins-remote-fort-chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calibi Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 DiCaprio takes ice-bucket challenge with Fort Chipewyan chiefs Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is in northern Alberta doing research for an upcoming projectLeonardo DiCaprio made quite a splash Friday in Fort Chipewyan.After enjoying a lunch that included caribou stew, pan-fried pickerel and fresh bannock, the actor joined First Nations chiefs Steve Courtoreille and Allan Adam in an ALS ice-bucket challenge.DiCaprio, who is in northern Alberta shooting an environmental documentary, then nominated Prime Minister Stephen Harper to follow suit.“When it comes to environmental issues, we don’t feel the prime minister has been listening to us,” Courtoreille said. “There was no better time for someone to do it to get attention than today.”After arriving in Fort McMurray on Thursday and keeping a low profile, DiCaprio flew to Fort Chipewyan on Friday morning for a public tour. Guided by the two chiefs, he stopped at the local heritage museum and had lunch in the isolated northern outpost’s elders’ lodge.“It was kind of a crazy, having a superstar in a community of 1,200 people,” Courtoreille said. “The word was out and a crowd gathered pretty quickly no matter where he went.“But for somebody who is that big a star, he was very down-to-earth. He is a very nice man.”At the heritage museum, he was escorted by Pam Gibot, who hustled into work on her day off when she heard DiCaprio was coming to town.“It was really exciting,” Gibot said. “A once-in-a-lifetime day.”At the end of his visit, she helped DiCaprio pick out some souvenirs in the gift shop, and sent him away with some dried moose meat she cured earlier in the week.Before he left, he signed his autograph on a new mannequin that will shortly go on display.“We are going to call it ‘Leo,’ ” Gibot said. “It almost even looks like him.”After arriving at the elders’ lodge, DiCaprio met with community leaders, and then dined on a lunch prepared by Alice Rigney, a local elder. After hearing the menu items, DiCaprio followed her into the kitchen and helped uncover the food.“He said: ‘I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m going to dig in,’ ” Rigney said.Lunch was followed by the ice-bucket challenge on the back lawn of the elders’ lodge, after which DiCaprio and his entourage returned to Fort McMurray, where people have been posting photos and reporting sightings of him on social media for two days.Some residents, offended by recent comments by rocker Neil Young and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, went on Twitter to criticize him.“People should furiously watch their favourite Leo DiCaprio movie tonight before they have to burn them,” one guy said.Equally as many people were excited to have them in their midst, even for a few days.“He is working on a documentary and will no doubt take a swing at our industry, or perhaps he is here just to meet some McMurray girls,” someone else Tweeted. “We wish.”Earlier in the week, Hazel Mercredi watched his most recent movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, on video for the 10th time. On Thursday night, she found herself unexpectedly having a glass of wine with him.A few hours earlier, she received an invitation to a top-secret gathering that included DiCaprio.“I couldn’t tell anyone,” she said. “I was supposed to help one of my friends move and told her at the last minute that I couldn’t.”So there she sat a few hours later, surrounded by the actor and his entourage.“I wasn’t star-struck, but it was surreal,” she said. http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonton/DiCaprio+takes+bucket+challenge+with+Fort+Chipewyan/10142155/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FashionDream Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Darn, Someone already nominated Stephen Harper to do the challenge yesterday, would have been better if Leo got to him first. Either way it was a smart way to draw Stephen's attention to his environmental mission, two good causes in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
