content: Footage was shot of a "rescue mission" to check on--and ultimately return--a group of Inuit women and children who, with the Inuit men, had abandoned a settlement close to a United States air base at Frobisher Bay to set up camp at Kuyait (northeastern Frobisher Bay, Canada). Footage includes travelling in boat, scenery, and Inuit hunting and camping.
