Show detail Hide detail

Documentary video recording various winter activities performed by the Cree Indians, members of the Longchap and Coon families of Mistassini, Quebec. Tapes 1 - 3 and 11 show the two methods by which the camp members fish through the lake ice using a series of long fishing nets strung beneath the ice and baited fishing lines frozen into the ice and periodically checked for a catch. Beaver traps are set in holes in the ice near beaver lodges (tape 14). In the camp we see some of the preliminary steps in making "pointed toe" snowshoes (tapes 16-19, 37-38). Other segments include an outdoor cookout where beaver meat is roasted on spits over an open fire (tape 15); a birthday party featuring boiled and roasted beaver meat (tape 20); and the skinning and butchering of caribou (tapes 25, 27-32). Several tapes focus on the lengthy process of tanning beaver and caribou hides, from the initial scraping of the skins using bone and metal scrapers, the washing and stretching, and the drying stages. The curing stage begins when large stones are heated in the wood stove and buried in a container of dry "rotten" wood chips to create smoke which seeps into the hides suspended over the smoke turning the hides a deep tan colour (tapes 34-36). Throughout the filming are several panoramic shots of the camp, the nearby lake and the surrounding forest area.
