Warnings: Stereotypical statements about gender roles (“it’s a man’s job,” “where there’s furs, there’s females”). Outdated terminology (“midget car,” “nimrod”)

This style of narration with a musical score was typical for the 1950s era. How has narration changed over time? Create a modern documentary mimicking this style to highlight a modern invention. How do these snapshots offer a summary of Canadian life at the time? What do they tell us about technology? Stereotypes and gender roles? Societal beliefs? While Indigenous people are likely present for the last segment, they are not mentioned or identified. Research some of the events that were showcased to find the innovations and inventions of Indigenous Peoples, while respecting any protocols that may need to be considered.
