This video features footage from "Cariboo Country", a CBC TV drama by Paul St. Pierre. The series was filmed from 1964 - 1966 in a beautiful area west of Williams Lake, BC called the Chilcotin; the spectacular scenery and people of this area were the inspiration for "New Caledonia". This footage has been unreleased since its original TV airing.
Thank you to the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin for the footage; thank you to John Dell for digital transfer assistance.
Thank you to Frank Hoorn and Near North Music.
