- Summary: In 1806 Metis guide Jacco Findlay was the first to blaze a packtrail over Howse Pass and the Continental Divide. He made a map for Canadian explorer David Thompson, who followed one year later. Jacco left the North West Company and became the first "Freeman" or "Otipemisiwak" in the Athabasca Valley. In 1907 the Canadian Government passed an Order in Council for the creation of the "Jasper Forest Park" enforcing the evacuation of the Metis in the Athabasca Valley. By 1909 guns were seized causing the community to surrender its homeland including Jacco's descendants. Six Metis families made their exodus after inhabiting the area for a century. This documentary, focuses on a 14-day return trip of the descendants of the evicted families, as well as Jacco's progeny. Storied are shared through the voices of family members as they reveal their struggle to preserve traditions and culture as Mountain Metis.

- Abstract
- Metis and the Medicine Line is a sprawling, ambitious look at how national borders and notions of race were created and manipulated to unlock access to indigenous lands. It is also an intimate story of individuals and families, brought vividly to life by history writing at its best. It begins with the emergence of the Plains Metis and ends with the fracturing of their communities as the Canada-U. S. border was enforced. It also explores the borderland world of the Northern Plains, where an astonishing diversity of people met and mingled: Blackfoot, Cree, Gros Ventre, Lakota, Dakota, Nez Perce, Assiniboine, Anishinaabes, Metis, Europeans, Canadians, Americans, soldiers, police, settlers, farmers, hunters, traders, bureaucrats. In examining the battles that emerged over who belonged on what side of the border, Hogue disputes Canada's peaceful settlement story of the Prairie West and challenges familiar bromides about the "world's longest undefended border. (From U of R Press website)
