A documentary on the Cree inhabitants of Paint Hills on the Eastern Shore of James Bay in Quebec, whose whole way of life is in danger from encroachment by the white man. The film follows a Cree band on a goose hunt, and sees the all-important "walking out ceremony" during which two-year-olds literally take their first walk outside the teepees without being carried by older folk. It looks at their daily lives throughout the four seasons as they fish, hunt for seals, set beaver treaps and set up their teepees. There are scenes of a fish fry, and dancing on a Saturday night to tunes played on a fiddle and a guitar. <60mn>
