Description:

Documentary about George Elson, a Métis (half-Cree, half Scot). It combines interviews with historians, archival photographs and archival stock footage, present-day footage of Labrador scenery and of the film-maker's visits to New York City and to the Memorial University archives, and re-enactments of events from 1903 and 1905. George Elson guided Mrs Mina Hubbard through Labrador on an expedition in 1905 to reach Ungava Bay and map the unchartered interior of Labrador. Two years before, Elson guided American journalist Leonidas Hubbard, Mrs Hubbard’s husband, and lawyer Dillon Wallace on another expedition with the same objective, although it was unsuccessful and cost Hubbard his life. On the 1903 expedition many decisions were made that ignored the Métis’ advice. <49mn 5s>
