Kipawa: Portrait Of A People This history of Kipawa, a Native community in northern Quebec as told by Kermot Moore, a Métis of Nishnabi (Ojibwa) descent who grew up there.

In a hard-hitting style, Mr. Moore shows how traplines and the new tourist zoning systems have displaced the Native, disrupting their traditional livelihood of trapping and forcing them on to the farm or into the factory.
