content: Edited film, directed by Martin Defalco & Willie Dunn and narrated by George Manuel, then president of the National Indian Brotherhood, presents indigenous perspectives on the company whose fur-trading empire drove colonization across vast tracts of land in central, western and northern Canada. Shown is the sharp contrast between the official celebrations, with Queen Elizabeth II among the guests, and what indigenous people have to say about their lot in the Company's operations. The co-directors were members of the historic Indian Film Crew, an all-Indigenous production unit established at the NFB in 1968.
