A Glimpse into Moose Factory History – DVD

The host John Cheechoo, a resident of the Moose Factory, takes the viewer back to the first arrival of the Europeans and forward to the present day. Elders and a historian on the Hudson’s Bay Company in Moose Factory are interviewed throughout this program. With the help of archival photographs, the host talks about the impact of the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Anglican Church on the community and on the Native people of Moose Factory. In addition, the lifestyles and economy of the early days are compared to the lifestyles and economy of today. This program is excellent for older students or for anyone with a special interest in the Native perspective on the history of Moose Factory.
