Title: Arctic Canada caught on 1919 silent film
Post by: DigitalBuddha on January 22, 2012, 11:58:34 PM
One of the world's early documentaries featured unique footage of the lives of Arctic fur trappers in 1919. After long being forgotten, it's now been restored for modern audiences in Canada, including communities descended from those featured in the silent film.

Cool find dude. It's unfortunate that the Hudson's Bay Company is now owned by an off shore company!  Way to go Canada!

Multinationals; wave of the future...unfortunately.

Yeah, I love historic footage like that, Hominid  dude, really ties the past together. A real history buff here.
