Yukon Belle  [CBC Vancouver, 1960, 29 Min.] + Picturing a People [NFB, R: Carol Geddes, 50 Min]

Yukon Belle follows the experiences of female hunting guide Belle Desrosier, as she leads a group of hunters on a sheep hunt in Yukon in the 1960s.

Picturing a People is a unique documentary portrait of First Nations photographer George Johnston of the Teslin Tlingit Council.

A keeper of his culture. Johnston cared deeply about the traditions of the Tlingit people, and he recorded a critical period in the history of the Tlingit nation. His legacy was "to help us dream the future as much as to remember the past."
