6:40 min. - We fish and hunt to feed ourselves during the trip. Also, it's important to visit a friend who died at a specific place.

Pierre Michel - There will be meat for everyone. Bread, rice, tea. We would often encounter families. Innu returning to their cache where they left flour and munitions in the fall. We talked about our dear ones. We told stories about a caribou hunt or checking our traplines. They were guests, to whom we always offered the best we had.
Zacharie Bellefleur - Sacred land, witness of my origins. I feel alive here. In the image of the world for which I was created.
Evelyne St-Onge - I'm of the generation that was taken away from the path. I see today what I missed. I'm discovering it along with the children.
Music - Philippe Mckenzie
