Brainstorm: What do students know of the search for gold in Canada’s north? Research the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Discuss those images from the film that you found most fascinating. Comment, in detail, on life in Dawson City at the height of the gold rush. Burton says that many of the American men who came to Dawson City didn’t bother to look for gold; they had found what they were looking for. What do you think he means?
