The Chipewyan (/tʃɪpəˈwaɪən/ chip-ə-WHY-ən, also called Denésoliné or Dënesųłı̨né or Dënë Sųłınë́, meaning "the original/real people")[2] [3] are a Dene Indigenous Canadian people of the Athabaskan language family, whose ancestors are identified with the Taltheilei Shale archaeological tradition.[4][5][6] They are part of the Northern Athabascan group of peoples, and come from what is now Western Canada.

They survived quite well, until their relocation shortly after this documentary. Look up sayisi dene relocation. It is quite devestating what happened to them

Terrific film. This is real history. Thanks for uploading!

[@blackfly1955]

There are no Chippewa, Ojibway, Saulteaux in this film. It's Cree and Dene (aka Chipewyan) in northern MB.

[@DEADMANRIDING1]

👍👍Marsi for setting them straight, mate. It's National Film Board propaganda. They couldn't even hire a local to narrate it. I can't stand the narrator's 🐂💩 phony accent. I had to turn off the sound to watch it.

[@charlesleblanc6638]

Tuff People, tuff Dogs, and tuff hunting. I like these old films.

[@marshallboone874]

I believe the narrator is actually saying Chipewyan which is an Athabaskan speaking people rather than the Algonquin speaking Chippewa or Anishinaabe.

Great short film!!! Caribou Hunter was using an Ol' Stevens 325 .30-30... Period correct, and likely nearly new rifle considering these were only made 1947-'49.

[@Rockwell19701]

I like how the narrator’s accent is all over the place :).

[@khakicampbell6640]

Yes, he definitely seemed to get more and more "native" sounding as the film went on..🤔

[@doctorshawzy6477]

Yes... accent is a fake..

[@flamencoprof]

This is close in time and space to the hunting described in the book "People of the Deer" by Farley Mowatt (published in 1952, revised in 1975). There is some good description of methods and attitudes around hunting.

[@esquad5406]

This was made in 1951. That Savage 30/30 would have been a brand new gun then. I think that model came out in 1950.

[@Popgunner101]

Technically made by Savage but Savage used the Stevens name on this rifle. It's a Stevens model 325 which then sold for $38.25. The Savage model 340 was a few dollars more.

[@billyhill4937]

The rifle the hunter is using is a Savage/ Stevens spoon handle bolt action probably a model 325. I believe they first came out in 1947. I had one in 30-30 . With a little work, it was amazingly accurate.

Concerned Citizen, sounds as though you are the one not educated about First Nations people. My people did not squander their resources, if something was killed it used to the fullest. The same can not be said about those who stole the land.

He is talking about the Dene, not the (not the Chippewa) Weeentuguy we gave them that name to describe the parka they wear. Chipewyan means the pointy heads in Cree, the soh-tohs or saulteaux are a little different

[@fjb4932]

In subsistence hunting, one does not stop at one caribou. They will move on and may not be found for another year. Before and after the Game Dept. put a limit, one would not be bothered by a game warden. Eating and survival are more important than a quota. He surely regrets having a film crew along ...

[@numbah16]

They aren't actually talking about the Dene, they're talking about the Anishinaabeg. Some Anishinaabeg are called Chippewa, and then the Dene are sometimes called Chipweyan. Two different groups that actually aren't connected at all. Annoying isn't it? :P

As a Manitoban, I appreciate the old docs. The only thing I can' t stand is the narrator's 🐂💩 fake accent. NFB would never hire a native Canadian native to speak for themselves pre 1980's. Welcome to Kanada, land of the "Not See's"", where P.M. Turdhole can declare a federal holiday for "Truth & Reconciliation" for First Nations, then turn down an invitation to meet with native leaders because he's busy on "govt business",then disappear from public view & then get caught later in the afternoon surfing in Tofino. Maybe someone could start a Gofundme for limp Dick Cheney to come up here on official govt business to hunt on the next holiday? Finding excellent local guides wouldn't be hard to find. There'd be a lineup, I'm sure..
