These are early videos of boomerang interviews, demonstrations, and competitions. Some of the video is a bit rough because these have been duplicated and reduplicated many times, sometimes from old film. Special thanks to Ted Bailey, www.flight-toys.com and The Boomerangman, Rich Harrison, www.theboomerangman.com. If you have any specific information on any of the videos, please leave it in a comment on that vid.
This documentary shows how a canoe is built the old way. César Newashish, a 67-year-old Attikamek of the Manawan Reserve north of Montreal, uses only birchbark, cedar splints, spruce roots and gum. Building a canoe solely from the materials that the forest provides may become a lost art, even among the Native peoples whose traditional craft it is. The film is without commentary but text frames appear on the screen in Cree, French and English.
