The Journey Begins

Summary The six travelers begin their journey in the heart of Canada; Winnipeg, Manitoba. Here they meet prominent Indigenous activist Michael Redhead Champagne who sheds some light on the journey ahead. He outlines their upcoming work alongside two community driven movements; the Bear Clan patrol which works to keep Winnipeg's notorious North End streets safe, and Drag the Red which takes on the sobering task helping to solve cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women by searching the river, and the riverbank, for remains or other evidence. From Winnipeg the group travels over 2000 km north to the remote Inuit community of Kimmirut where they experience life on the land is more intense than they ever could have imagined. From the high cost of store-bought food, the challenges locals face hunting, and the sharing economy that has been created to ensure the whole community can eat, the six participants get a window into a truly different world to their own. Through their hands on work with these community-based efforts, some of the participants begin to acknowledge a change in their attitudes, while others remain staunch in their beliefs about Indigenous people.
