Documentary video recording varous activities of the Cree Indians of the Longchap and Shecapeo families living at the winter camp near Mistassini, Quebec. On tapes 23-31 the Shecapeo family is shown selecting a sheltered location for the winter tent after testing the snow-covered area for level ground. A large circular area is cleared of snow and filled with logs and evergreen boughs. Large posts provide a framework for the tent and the outside edges are banked with snow for stability. Maryanne butchers a beaver (tape 4) which is served with moose stew and dumplings at the feast when all camp members gather. Other activities include chopping holes in the ice through which nets and traps are lowered to obtain fish and beaver (tapes 16 & 17, 41); setting snares for rabbits and porcupines (tape 45); and making a skidoo sled (tapes 10 & 11). Much of the time is spent preparing moose, caribou, rabbit and beaver skins (tapes 1, 7 & 8, 12 & 13, 18, 21, 32-39, 42 & 43). This involves removing the flesh from the skins with a knife and "flesher", scraping the hair from the exterior side, washing and stretching the "parchment". Other noteworthy segments of Maryann cutting rawhide patterns and embroidering intricate designs on mitts (tapes 9 & 15) and moccasins. Panoramic views of the camp included on tapes 14 & 46.
