Description:

A look at the Shuswap Indians and their Fraser Valley environment. Footage of village life shows a summer lodge covered in bark; a subterranean house for winter use; a winter lodge; modern wood-frame houses; a horse-drawn wagon; Indian petroglyphs; and a dug-out canoe. A man is seen in characteristic fur cap and another wears a buckskin jacket with decorative fringes. A woman is seen wearing a decorative headband. The activities of women appear to be many: one or more women are seen pounding dried meat; dressing a hide with a stone scraper; making baskets; smoking a long pipe; preparing a sweat house for religious purposes; and dancing to a drum accompaniment. An elderly man demonstrates the bow and arrow. The film also includes footage of fauna - deer, mountain goats, beaver, and bear - and flora - cactus, sage brush, and wild carrots. <7mn>
