Segment 1: From 1920 to 1960, because muskox herds were becoming scarce, they were never seen around the Cambridge Bay area. There is now a healthy population, so hunters are now able to hunt them. John Maksagak from the Hunters and Trappers Association explains their meat-processing program.
Segment 2: Walter Tupilak talks about the beginning of the community of Kugluktuk.
Segment 3: Elder Jack talks about going to residential school. He talks about the experience of almost losing his Inuinnaqtun language.
