Description:

John Murdoch, principal of the Indian Affairs school at Waskaganish (formerly known as Rupert House), James Bay, and his wife, Gerti, have initiated a curriculum development project using local people and resources. The teaching materials are drawn from Cree folklore, are mainly in Cree, and make use of old photographs, artifacts and books that are written and printed in the community. The school year is organized so that pupils have time to go hunting and fishing with their families. This innovative approach makes local control of education a reality in native (Indigenous) communities. The following people appear in the film: Ruth (Weistche) Salt, Sanders and Florrie Weistche (hunting family), John Blackned (bear skull talk), Charlie Blackned, Simeon Blackned (fiddler), William Namagoose (guitar player) and Kenneth Weistche (photocopy machine). <26mn 18s>
