Show detail Hide detail

This program features interviews of the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, Gordon Robertson, and four members of the Council of the Northwest Territories about the aims and powers of this 10-person council. The council was established in 1952 to govern a land mass one-third of Canada. The council members are asked about their experiences with the natives of the North, whose culture and lifestyle are so different from the vast majority of "southern" Canadians. Dunton calls the council "an almost colonial administration". Robertson is also Deputy Minister of Northern Affairs and Natural Resources. Councillor John Goodall of Fort Simpson is the eldest elected member of council. Councillor Newt Lang of Aklavik has been a trader and trapper in the North for 33 years. Councillor Pat Cary, the newest elected member, was one of the first pilots to fly in the North in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Councillor Ernest James Gaul answered an advertisement while he was a 19-year-old in Aberdeen, Scotland to work for the Hudson's Bay Company.
