Today, this region is one of the most popular places for recreation. A ferry carries passengers across the Muskoka River where aboriginal people used to canoe. The land, which used to be idealized as a magic land, has become a golf course, tennis court and a place for horse back riding. The river is used for rowing races, motorboats and jet skiing. The great son of Great Bigwin, a legendary Mohawk warrior, is visiting the land and is welcomed by white people.Language:Silent with English intertitlesNotes:Genre:TRAVELOGUE -
