I remember watching these between Rocket Robin Hood and The Mighty Hercules before school and also Max the 2000 year old mouse and the amazing stories of Professor Kitzel !
I've whistled that tune for years and years, but it had been so long since I'd seen this that I may not have been able to think of where it was from. Great memories! Thank you! :)
Thanks for posting this! When I was young, this was better than Saturday morning cartoons. Another one I loved was "The Sweater" narrated by Roch Carrier. Cheers!
That is really what you got out of this video? Native land dispute? I figured out at the age of about 10 that this was about sharing our lands and diversity....
I wish the NFB would make more of these cool shorts or even show them on TV again.

Made in Winnipeg (the music, not sure about the animation, although a lot of animation was coming from Winnipeg during the '70s/80s).

I haven't seen this since I was a child but I've never forgotten it! I always loved the part when the potato turns into french fries.

@rdanyomarrech It seems to be about how corrupt some governments are and how they took over native lands.

@Dicertification Yeah that's what I got out of it. Or at least the part with the oil fields is what I got out of it. :)

Thank you so much for putting this one up! I have been waiting for it--I used to sing the tune all the time when I was little.
