Parki Parka : Un mois à la Baie d’Hudson (BAnQ)
This short film, produced in 1951 by the priest Albert Tessier (1895-1976) for the government of Quebec, recounts the annual voyage of the ship Regina Polaris which supplies the isolated Oblate missions of the Canadian Far North. From the first stopover in Cape Dorset, passing through Chesterfield and Eskimo Point, to the last leg of the journey in Churchill, this film reflects Inuit customs and traditions.
