- 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.
