FinnieDescription:A look at the Dogrib Indians, an Athapaskan tribe which lives between Great Bear and Great Slave lakes, shot at the time of land treaty payments. The footage includes scenes from the Indian encampment: women making moccasins, beadwork, and fishnets; a man emptying his nets, cleaning and drying fish; boys playing checkers; a couple sharing a meal; ceremonies held under canvas with drums, chanting, and dancing; women walking to a Roman Catholic church with babies; the congregation, separated by sex; and medical checkups administered by a government doctor. The chief, (probably Jimmy Brunezu), is seen conversing with government treaty officials. Payments are made to individual Indians by an agent and an RCMP officer. Also included is a sequence from a Hudson's Bay Company post where a white trader examines the furs of an Indian trapper. <24mn>Subjects:ATHAPASCAN INDIANS~CLOTHING & DRESS~DANCING~FISHING~GOVERNMENT RELATIONS~HEALTH SERVICES~LAND TENURE~NORTHWEST TERRITORIES~TREATIES~WOMEN~HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY~BRUNEAU, JIMMYLanguage:SilentNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
