Cree hunters of Mistassini

Cree hunters of Mistassini

DVD 2007

During the winters, since times predating agriculture, the Cree people of Mistassini have gone to the bush of the James and Ungava Bay area to hunt. Three hunting families agreed to meet an NFB film crew, who filmed the building of the winter camp, the hunting, the relationship with the land, the rhythms of Cree family life. The film expresses Cree beliefs and the ecological principles that are the foundation of their lives.
