Sommaire
This television series tells the history and prehistory of Canada, with dramatic recreations of historical events and including many hours of archival footage, documentary evidence from the native Canadians through British and French settlers to modern times. These episodes range from ancient history and the stories passed down through native oral tradition to the first electric encounters between natives and Europeans, and from the wrenching battles that engulf the continent to the mass migration of Loyalists and the War of 1812. The dramatic stories of Canada's beginnings unfold on a spectacular, forbidding landscape.
