This program questions whether control of the Inuit at Fort Chimo, in northern Quebec, should stay under federal control or change to provincial control. The current lifestyle of the Inuit in this community, as affected by contact with white people, is also examined.~The dependency of the Inuit on the government, its causes and possible solutions are commented upon by white community members including Lucille Beauchamps, Head-Administration Branch in the Department of Northern Affairs; a minister, teacher and an old timer; and with several Eskimo men through translation.~Footage includes the Inuit community grocery shopping; going to the (English) movies; dancing to rock and roll music; in church; children in school learning English and French; aerial shots of the countryside; and Inuit cooperatives where the famous 'Ookpik' is produced.
