Westland

NWT Cariboo

Description

Viewers of WestLand in the Northwest Territories (NWT) made this film available. It is a profile of one herd of caribou of hundreds that are shot for food by both white and Native residents. The film makes the point that in areas remote from the urban population centers, life-on-the-land goes on much as it always has.
