  1. Thank you for this. At the bottom of the page is a link to a 20 minute live-action film on the same topic. I have been actively looking for this film forEVER. I saw it every summer in Ely, MN as a girl visiting the Boundary Waters. It is educational, and also accidentally hilarious as some of the "voyageurs" are wearing wrist watches and the like. Tis brings back great memories. Thank you for helping me find it again.

  2. Did you do a fist pump when you found it? Thanks for the feedback.
