You can tell looking at him that he's white. Don't know how people were duped by this for decades.

Wow, didn't know this was a true story.  Loved the movie, it was really sweet and the first time I enjoyed Pierce Brosnan in anything, lol.

Many thanks for uploading this film ! I´d wish all orphaned beavers would be cared for like this (1:43)

What was Grey Owl doing for a living about this time?

[breakgive]

I believe he was working for Parks Canada.

[Gwaithmir]

Thanks for that information. I was beginning to think that this video was lost and forgotten.

[breakgive]

Grey Owl is dear to my heart.

I was very pleased to find this video here.

[Gwaithmir]

What did you think of the Grey Owl movie starring Pearce Brosnin?

[breakgive]

I liked it. I thought it was well done.

@Gwaithmir The movie was ok.Focused a little too much on his and Anahareo's romance though. I definately wouldn't recomend it to someone who wants to learn about him, as a lot of things in the movie are incorect, right down to his deathplace. If you ever get the chance to see his cabin, it is well worth the trip! I have been to his cabin and camped in the area almost every summer since I was 4 and they picked such a bad location to film! It is so much more beautiful in real life!

@Gwaithmir Writing articles and he got a pension for his military service.
